Ukraine wore months imploring to the United States to leave rhetoric to go to action. The first sign that something was changing in Washington happened a few days ago, when it was airing that Trump was seriously thinking Send Tomahawk missiles To kyiv. Now, a budding agreement has given the most drastic turn that is remembered in the American postureand has the channel to change the contest.
A strategic turn. The Trump administration has given A drastic change in his position towards war in Ukraine. After months of trying to negotiate the fire with Putin through economic incentives, the US president has Authorized for the first time The delivery of intelligence for KyIV Russian energy infrastructure attack with missiles and long -range drones.
He objective is Hit refineries, pipelines and power plants to deprive the Kremlin of its main source of income, weakening both their economy and its ability to sustain the military offensive. This turn coincides With statements In which Trump assured that he is possible that Ukraine recovers all occupied territories, which marks a break with his initial rhetoric of territorial concessions.
The long -range dilemma. It We count yesterday. Washington now studies whether to accompany that intelligence with armament much more powerful. The more striking option It is the delivery of Crucero Tomahawk, with a close range of up to 2,500 km and large destructive capacity. They are also considered cheaper and more modular alternatives, such as Anduril Barracuda or the new ones EXTENDED RANGE ATTACK MUNIONSalready approved in significant quantities.
Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy They have sent own cruise missiles, while Berlin Keep blocked The Taurus despite the insistence of their military in which Ukraine must be able to attack in depth. Ukraine, meanwhile, advances with own projects Like Long Neptune and Flamingothe latter a cruise missile of enormous reach and explosive load that aims to produce on a large scale to further press Russian defenses.
The Ukrainian “gift. The other great pillar of this new approach is unmanned technology. A Ukrainian delegation arrived in Washington to negotiate A historical agreement that will allow the United States to access kyiv’s experience in mass production of drones. A frame of up to 50,000 million dollars Five years, with the capacity to manufacture millions of units annually when the war ends.
The Ukrainian drones (From cheap FPV to The Magura Navales capable of demolishing Russian fighters) have demonstrated be innovativeflexible and much cheaper than Western systems. United States, whose industry manufactures very sophisticated models, but in limited volumes, seeks with this pact catch up on In a capacity that Ukraine has taken much further.
Implications The call “Drone Deal” would include technological transfer formulas, from royalties to the creation of subsidiaries on American soil. Ukraine would produce at much lower costs than those of the West, while the United States He would get proven systems in combat and ready to climb.
In return, Kyiv expects compensation in the form of advanced weapons such as The patriotthe Himars launches, The attacms or even latest generation fighters. The agreement would also serve to strengthen the political relationship with Trump, which had sometimes shown doubts about the level of support for Ukraine but now seems to bow towards deeper strategic cooperation.
A moving board. He American turn It is framed at a time when Russia intensifies attacks against Energy infrastructure Ukraine, anticipating a new winter of pressure on the civilian population. At the same time, Moscow complaint That NATO’s intelligence and resources are used directly against them, while observing with restlessness the possibility that western long -range missiles are delivered to Kyiv.
In parallel, Europe reinforces your role: Some countries increase their investments in the Ukrainian military industry and others, Like Germanythey finance in depth attack capabilities. The combination of new intelligence, massive drones and potential long -range missiles indicates that the war could enter into a different phasewith Ukraine looking to hit in the most sensitive for Russia: the energy that feeds Its economy and finances its war effort.
