(To Massimiliano D'Elia) The Washington Post revealed the "under the table" American moves to try to turn the Ukrainian conflict around. The use of the "1202 programme” which provides for the use of US special forces directly on the ground to assist the Ukrainians in raids and in counter-information, or rather lead the Kiev military remotely following a scheme already adopted in the fight against jihadists.

The proxy war has been going on for too long and hasn't produced tangible results one way or the other. Faced with the resilience demonstrated by Putin's military, it is necessary to think of new strategies to try to move the war quagmire which is however causing destruction and numerous victims among soldiers and civilians, especially in the Donbass region. Apparently Putin manages to have inexhaustible firepower, launching rocket attacks on different regions of Ukraine almost every day, by land, air and from the sea. Western intelligence then confirmed that the sanctions imposed by the CI on Moscow have not had much impact on Russian military capabilities: they manage to get arms dating back to the former Soviet Union from North Korea via Iran and raw materials directly from the continent Africa where dozens of states have never condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Il program 1202, as it was conceived, however, does not envisage the involvement of American soldiers in traditional conflicts because it was designed to counter international terrorism and should therefore be remodulated to apply it to the emergency underway in the middle of Europe. The debate is heated between Democrats and Republicans even in the face of pressure from Pentagon generals.
The appeal to intervene on the battlefield would come directly from the Ukrainian leader Zelensky who assured the Americans of complete collaboration on the choice of targets (where they supplied rockets with a range of 300 km), as happened during the use of the Himars where the military The USA have provided, thanks to satellites, precise targets to hit. Biden, for now, has not made any opening to sending rockets with a range equal to or greater than 300km, capable of directly hitting Russian territory to avoid giving Putin an extra pretext to implement his strategic defense policy which involves the use of nuclear weapons.
