Russia-NATO clash 'inevitable' if West sends troops to Ukraine: Kremlin

A direct confrontation between Russia and NATO could be inevitable if Western nations decide to send troops to Ukraine, says Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov. Peskov’s statement comes after French President Macron discussed the possibility of sending Western troops to bolster support for Ukraine at a conference in Paris.

During the conference in Paris, Macron mentioned that sending Western troops to Ukraine should not be ruled out and that the West will do everything to prevent Russia from winning the ongoing war. In response to these statements, Peskov emphasized that a clash with NATO would be inevitable if troops were deployed to Ukraine.

Peskov also mentioned that some countries are taking a cautious approach and assessing the potential dangers of sending troops to Ukraine. The Kremlin’s reaction to the discussions among European leaders regarding Western troop deployment highlights the increasing tensions in the region.

The statements made by Peskov reflect Russia’s firm stance on the issue and suggest that any further escalation could lead to a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO. The developments in Ukraine continue to be a point of contention between Western nations and Russia, with the possibility of military intervention adding to the complexity of the situation.
