"Attributing an attack to Russia is not a declaration of war but an act of hostility"

Attributing an attack to Russia is not a declaration of war but an act of hostility. This is the position of Tiago Vasconcelos, strategy and international politics analyst, who comments on the tense relations between Russia and Germany and their effects on the Ukraine conflict. The analyst addresses the political and diplomatic consequences when a country publicly attributes an attack to another State, explaining that this act, although not formally constituting a declaration of war, represents a significant escalation in international relations. The comment arises in the context of growing tensions between Russia and Germany.
