The report notes that Russia's use of the rhetoric around red lines has been highly inconsistent, undermining the overall narrative of Russian escalation. "Putin consistently escalates the war on his own without regard to Western decisions and has consistently declined to retaliate every time Western states have deepened their support of Ukraine. Putin previously threatened severe retaliation if Western states provided Ukraine with rocket artillery, tanks, warplanes, and the ability to strike into Russia, and Putin has constantly shifted the goalposts every time the West has called Putin’s bluff," the ISW asserts.
