Russian and Ukrainian websites quoted Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski as saying that there are soldiers from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) currently inside Ukraine. The Polish minister refused to reveal those countries, nor did he clarify the nature of the military mission or specify their number.
Sikorsky was about to comment on the position of French President Emmanuel Macron, who recently said that he did not rule out sending NATO forces to Ukraine to support it in its war with Russia. European leaders rejected Macron's proposal, while Russia warned of an inevitable confrontation with NATO.
