Guerrilla warfare in Ukraine? No-fly zone over Ukraine?


"The hypothesis that Mr. Putin's invasion poses a threat not only to Ukrainian sovereignty but to "global democracy" or freedom itself leads some to propose extraordinary responses. Evelyn N. Farkas, who served as deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia in the Obama administration, has called for an international coalition to enforce a no-fly zone over Ukraine. So far, the Biden administration has prudently ignored this and other such options, recognizing that America's interests in Ukraine don't justify risking war with a nuclear-armed Russia.

 

Eliot Cohen has proposed that the U.S. should arm a hypothetical Ukrainian insurgency -- which the Biden administration has reportedly considered -- to raise the costs for Russia and deter other nations that might be considering similar activities. But Ukraine is a flat country unsuited to guerrilla warfare. Backing an insurgency could ignite a wider conflict between the U.S. and Russia, and increase the violence inflicted on Ukrainian civilians." [1]
