The decision of the Pentagon to stop earlier air defense systems to Ukraine was received on Wednesday with ominous warnings from security experts established in Washington, who warned the move, will “encourage” and possibly “escalate” Russian President Vladimir’s war ambitions.
However, experts sound the alarm that the move undermines the American and Ukrainian leverage, since President Donald Trump wants to come up with a strike.
