The head of state recalled that mercenaries are now fighting in Ukraine, mostly from Poland, the USA and Georgia.

At the same time, if someone wants to send regular troops to Ukraine, this could lead humanity to a serious planetary conflict, he warned.

“Does the USA need this? For what? Thousands of kilometers from national territory. Don't have anything to do? You have a lot of problems at the border,” added Vladimir Putin.

The President also said that Russia has no interest in a conflict with Poland, Latvia and other European countries.
