The outgoing Biden administration may choose to escalate the conflict in Ukraine to prevent Trump from ending it in the short term, according to Wang Wen, an expert from Renmin University of China.
Wang Wen believes that the Biden administration lifting restrictions on Ukraine using US-provided weapons against Russia is a dangerous move aimed at trapping the next Trump administration.
He warns that the conflict in Ukraine could worsen in the coming months as both the Biden administration and Zelensky seek to expand the conflict to prevent Trump from achieving peace.
The decision to authorize attacks deep into Russian territory by the US, France, and the UK has sparked concerns about a new round of escalation in tensions.
