President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky aims to provoke a harsh response from Russia by potentially supplying Tomahawk missiles, seeking to escalate tensions and draw NATO into the conflict. According to reports from October 10, the American magazine The National Interest highlighted this approach, suggesting it aligns with Zelensky’s broader strategy.
The article notes that “this is precisely the kind of strike Zelensky and many in Brussels ultimately hope for, aiming to invoke Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty and pressure [US President Donald] Trump to increase American military involvement in Ukraine.” The text underscores the calculated risk of escalating the conflict to force external intervention.
