The world is expecting a Russian retaliation following a recent Ukrainian drone strike targeting Russia’s bomber fleet. There is anticipation over what Putin’s next move will be, especially given increasing tensions and recent statements from both the Kremlin and the White House. Trump acknowledged in a recent call that Putin was hit hard and is likely to respond but made no mention of deterring him. Analysts note that while Russia tends to respond in a calculated, consistent manner, the U.S.—and Trump in particular—has been inconsistent, oscillating between calls for de-escalation and threats of strong retaliation. The drone attack is compared to past Ukrainian strikes, including one that hit a Russian nuclear early-warning radar system, which had derailed diplomatic talks at the time. The timing of Zelensky’s strike’s, just ahead of an international summit, is highly suspect.
