State Duma deputy Dmitry Belik says NATO countries are trying to legalize their presence in Ukraine. Belik: NATO military personnel are already in Ukraine today, but only in the status of mercenaries.
Earlier, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that a number of NATO countries were considering sending military personnel to Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron said that the possibility of sending troops from Western countries to Ukraine can't be ruled out. The Russian Defense Ministry has not commented on Belik's claims.
