The West should worry less about the red lines set by Russian leader Vladimir Putin and establish its own, according to experienced German diplomat Wolfgang Ischinger, according to Politico. "Russia keeps saying, if you do this, if you cross this or that red line, we might escalate. Why don't we turn this thing around and say to them: ‘We have lines and if you bomb one more civilian building, then you shouldn't be surprised if, say, we deliver Taurus cruise missiles or America allows Ukraine to strike military targets inside Russia’?'" said the 78-year-old onetime chairman of the Munich Security Conference...Previously, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) stated that the operation of Ukrainian Defense Forces in the Kursk region demonstrated how empty Russia's red lines are.
