Moscow:
The Kremlin warned on Tuesday that a conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led Nato military alliance would be inevitable if European members of the alliance send troops to Ukraine.
French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday opened the door to European countries sending troops to Ukraine, although he warned that there was no consensus on such a step at this stage as allies agreed to step up efforts to send more ammunition to Kiev.
Asked about Macron’s comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: “Discussing the possibility of sending certain contingents from NATO countries to Ukraine is itself a very important new factor. .”
When asked by reporters what the risk of a direct conflict between Russia and NATO was if NATO members sent troops to fight in Ukraine, Peskov said:
“In this case, what we need to discuss is not the possibility but the inevitability (of direct conflict).”
