Biden has shied away from Zelensky's request to use American missiles to strike deep into Russia because the danger of escalation is real.

The Washigton Post published David Ignatius' opinion piece where he writes that Biden "does not want to risk Russian retaliation." And the criticism of Biden on this issue is "too superficial."

"We should not want a hothead in the White House. By avoiding the risk of escalation, Biden is following the advice of his intelligence advisers — and fulfilling the responsibility of any president to reduce the risk of nuclear war"

"A visit to Kiev this month left me worried that an exhausted Ukraine is beginning to buckle under the weight of this terrible standoff. Zelensky's political base is fragmented, and a protracted war of attrition will destroy Ukraine".

According to Ignatus, the White House should provide other assistance to Kyiv, but “long-range missile strikes are a red line.” In his opinion, in the current situation, “we are all very lucky” that Biden “is not playing a reckless game.”
