ukraine's attack on kursk sparked another discussion: the "nuclear deterrence theory." in the past, the outside world often believed that a country's possession of nuclear weapons could prevent invasion by other countries and effectively guarantee its own security. israel, north korea, and iran also started the process of possessing nuclear weapons based on this theory.

ukraine's successful kursk offensive will force people to rethink the theory of "nuclear deterrence"

during the russia-ukraine conflict, although the west very much hoped to use this opportunity to defeat russia and putin, russia's nuclear weapons and nuclear deterrence have always made the west hesitant in providing offensive weapons to ukraine, and sending troops to ukraine is even more unrealistic.

but this time, the ukrainian army's surprise attack on kursk has obviously changed the outside world's perception of the past half a century: ukraine's attack on kursk in western russia is not only a hasty move to counter russia's attack on ukraine, but also marks the first time that a country that has declared itself to have nuclear weapons faces invasion and occupation by another country. the wall street journal pointed out that ukraine has been constantly testing russian president putin's "red line", and its move to attack russian territory this time will make the outside world re-examine the "nuclear deterrence" theory during the cold war.

ukraine also wants to use this action to urge the white house to provide ukraine with weapons with a longer strike range and allow them to use such weapons to attack the russian mainland. let's take a look at another impact of the ukrainian military's kursk operation.
