Russian Deputy Defense Minister Col. Gen. Alexander Fomin accused NATO of making plans to send troops into Ukraine to compel Russia to negotiate, asserting that Western allies are inciting Ukraine to attack Russia. This marks a troubling escalation in tensions, with fears that a military clash between nuclear-armed states could ensue.
Fomin stated, 'In order to force Russia to engage in negotiations based on Kiev's formulae, NATO countries are making plans of sending their troops to Ukraine.' This highlights the Kremlin's concern over NATO's military involvement and its implications for regional stability.
Describing NATO's actions as a 'dangerous game,' Fomin warned that it could lead to a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers, underlining the seriousness of the current geopolitical climate.
Fomin also claimed that the US has been working on a new edition of its nuclear doctrine, suggesting a lowered threshold for nuclear engagement, raising alarms about potential escalation.
