He noted that Western countries want an escalation of the conflict, and when Macron says that he will send long-range missiles and ground troops to Kyiv, “this is no longer an escalation, this is a war,” RIA Novosti reports.
“If you send long-range weapons that can reach Moscow, and you send troops into a country - what do you call it?
This is called war.
This means that we will go to war with Russia, a nuclear power,” the politician added.
Filippo stressed that such statements cannot be made “for the sake of posture,” while in reality the European Union is on the path to war.
Earlier, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that no one supported Macron’s idea of sending the military to Ukraine.
