Lisbon, October 8 (askanews) – The war between Russia and Ukraine is at a stalemate that could push one or both sides to escalate the conflict in an attempt to break the deadlock. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this during a visit to Portugal, warning that an escalation could also involve neighboring NATO members.
"The other way stalemates end," Rubio says, "is through escalation. One or both sides escalate what they're doing to try to push the other into submission and break the stalemate. And that's very dangerous. It's very dangerous in the context of the war between Russia and Ukraine, because this escalation could turn into a sabotage campaign in neighboring NATO members."
These could be the attacks you're referring to. Many other things could happen that would quickly transform what is now a war between two countries into a much broader and much more dangerous regional conflict."
