US: with Tomahawk Putin could sit at negotiating table

“La possibilità di un attacco in profondità potrebbe cambiare i calcoli di Putin e metterebbe a rischio molte cose, tra cui importanti infrastrutture energetiche all’interno della Russia. La guerra e le uccisioni devono finire, ed entrambe le parti devono sedersi al tavolo delle trattative e negozino un accordo.
