Russian President Vladimir Putin stated this in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselev for Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti.
“We know what American troops are on Russian territory, they are interventionists.
This is how we will treat it, even if they appear on Ukrainian territory,” the Russian leader said.
At the same time, he emphasized that the United States “understands this.”
Earlier, US Senator from Utah Mike Lee said that if NATO troops enter Ukraine, the United States will have to withdraw from the North Atlantic Alliance.
