Former French Prime Minister Villepin: the entry of NATO forces into Ukraine threatens nuclear escalation. He says the deployment of NATO ground forces in Ukraine poses a risk that is unacceptable for the powers bearing responsibility for it.

Earlier, the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called for the overthrow of French President Emmanuel Macron after his words about supporting Kyiv. Also, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh said that the country does not intend to send its military to Ukraine.
