Putin’s assertion – viewed by Moscow as insurance but seen as a threat by the West – has served to inflame tensions in Eastern Europe as NATO and other allies seek to tighten the noose on Russian aggression by cutting off its link to the global payment system, closing airspace to Russian planes, and pledging artillery to Ukraine’s military and civilian fighters.
