Ukraine War: Will downed drone lead to escalation?
19 March 2023 By Abiodun Kareem Giwa
Russia downed down United States' drone over the Black Sea. Will the U.S. react? Some observers say there should be a response to Russia's actions, but no one knows what the U.S. will do. Nikki Haley said the U.S. replaced the lost drone with two drones in the same area. One analyst suggested the U.S. send deadly war materials to Ukraine to protest Russia's action. However, reports have shown the downing of the U.S. drone was accidental with the tail of the Russian warplane.
Russia's drone downing occurred on Tuesday, and an international arrest warrant was issued against Vladimir Putin by the International Criminal Court on Friday - three days apart. The ink on the arrest warrant hardly dried when Putin appeared in Mariupol on Saturday, celebrating one year of the annex of the area by Russian forces.
Meanwhile, China's Xi Jinping plans to visit Russia based on China's agreement with Russia for an alliance with an open end. Curious observers in the West say China and Russia's partnership is dangerous. Some analysts in the U.S. think the U.S. should do more for Ukraine towards Ukraine's victory, be careless of the repercussion of such steps to world peace, and counter the Russia-China relationship. President Joseph Bidens' half-measure support for Ukraine without assurance of victory has depleted the U.S. capability and may be disadvantaged if China should dare attack Taiwan.
Observers say Russia is not winning in Ukraine, and the latter is still uncertain of victory. Instead, they say Russia is working to drag the U.S. into the fray toward a world war. However, observers are confident that help from the U.S. and its allies has helped Ukraine's containment of Russia.
But every country among the allies is avoiding the supply of armament to Ukraine, capable of causing another world war. Therefore, Ukraine has become a victim of continued destruction from Russia. Ukraine has become a battleground, and citizens are uncertain when Russia's bombardment will end.
People say it is Ukraine and Russia's war and are unapproved of anything leading to a world war. Combat is bloody and murderous, and nobody wants it. They prefer an end to the Ukraine war. Talking about diplomacy to end the Augean-Stable leads to whether Russia will cede annexed Ukraine's territory or whether Ukraine will agree to give up its seized territory.
Some observers think the U.S. downed drone may lead to escalating the Ukraine war, but others say uncertainty rules.
