A conflict between Russia and NATO would be inevitable if Western troops go to Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman said today.
The Kremlin's comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron did not rule out putting boots on the ground in Ukraine as Kyiv struggles to fend off Russia's full-scale invasion.
While Macron noted that there was no consensus about troops at this stage, Ukraine has not asked allies for soldiers to fight its cause and other Western governments even scrambled Tuesday to insist troops were not set to be deployed, the mere suggestion sparked a furious response from Moscow.
“In this case, we need to talk not about the likelihood, but about the inevitability [of a conflict]. That’s how we evaluate it,” said Dmitry Peskov, Putin's press secretary.
“These countries must also evaluate and be aware of this, asking themselves whether this corresponds to their interests, as well as the interests of the citizens of their countries,” Peskov added.
Macron’s comments came at the tail end of a summit in Paris, where EU leaders gathered Monday to discuss ongoing support for Kyiv. Macron said defeating Russia is “indispensable” to Europe’s security and stability, and that EU leaders discussed the topic of Western troops in a "very free and direct" manner during the summit.
A domestic backlash quickly grew Tuesday against Macron's comments, and was followed by Western allies pushing back against the floated move to put soldiers into Ukraine.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said leaders in Paris agreed that “everyone must do more for Ukraine,” but that “one thing is clear: There will be no ground troops from European states or NATO.”

“Always the same faction creating war and open borders and stealing our treasury.”
That would be Russia.
You got what you wanted and stopped the aid to Ukraine. Now you’re complaining because you got your wish and one way or the other the fall of Ukraine will lead to a wider war in Europe and beyond.
People seem to think that nuclear war would just be a local thing and the smoke would clear and everything be back to normal like a 6-day war or something.
Trying to be like Trump. They are just trying to get Ukraine money and coming from Macron instead of Biden means the Rats don’t have to answer for this ridiculous statement in the middle of the campaign.
Oh, the irony.
I could’ve sworn that was a Daily Mail title.
Was looking forward to going over there and finding Tay Tay and Travis pictures.
Send the French please. They can die for the Ukrainian Nazis, as some did in the French SS divisions, for their Faggot Frog Fuhrer, Macron (nee Moron).
Inching towards war with Russia. It will happen, I fear. CIA/MI6 will concocked an event (with Zelenskyy’s help) to pull us into a full war—to keep the Deep State in power. Summer will look like 1914 all over again. We might not win this one.
Put Macron on the front lines with a 22 pistol.
If anyone moves into Ukraine it will be the USA and UK. The rest of Europe would face civil discord if they tried. Maybe its time for a Sixth Republic in France?
Just what we nee to go along with Biteme’s ineptitude, Martial Law.

Ukraine election: Comedian Zelensky wins presidency by landslide
In 2014, Zelensky was still an actor and comedian and voice dubbing Paddington Bear.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky Was Voice of Paddington Bear
Nope. It was Petro Poroshenko who was elected president in May 2014 after Putin stooge Viktor Yanukovych abandoned his office and fled Ukraine in the middle of the night.
Billionaire Poroshenko declares victory in Ukraine
Zelensky then defeated Poroshenko during the 2019 election.
The irony is that Zelensky was originally believed to be pro-Russian at the start of his presidency...but then Putin invaded and tried to kill him.
“Zelensky has nothing to do with Obama and 2014.”

US gov’t knew NATO expansion to Ukraine would force Russia to intervene
Former US Ambassador to Russia William J. Burns, who is now CIA director, admitted in a classified 2008 embassy cable that NATO expansion to Ukraine crosses Moscow’s security “redlines” and “could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene.”

See Post 35, also. Thanks.
“Russia warns NATO”
*yawn*
Right on!!
“The October Surprise from Biden. Declaration of War”
The president cannot declare war.
>> China has said that NATO troops is a red line, and they
>> would invade Taiwan in “self defense” to prevent it from
>> declaring independence in such a scenario.
“The Perestroyka Deception”, “New Lies for Old”.
I guess you were right all these years and never stopped beating that drum.
Now the facade has fallen, NEP is over and Moscow is back being visibly its bad old self.
