“In this case, we need to talk not about probability, but about inevitability, and that’s how we evaluate it,” said the Kremlin representative, answering the question of how the Kremlin assesses the risks of a conflict between NATO and Russia if such a decision is made.

The alliance countries should ask themselves whether this is in their interests, and most importantly, in the interests of the citizens of their countries, Peskov emphasized.

As President Vladimir Putin noted in an interview with Tucker Carlson, sending regular troops of other countries to Ukraine would put the world on the brink of a global conflict.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to “create a ninth coalition for deep strikes” to supply bombs and long-range missiles to Ukraine.

He also said that the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine cannot be ruled out.
