Russia says sending NATO troops to Ukraine would escalate conflict

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova warned NATO countries on Thursday against sending troops to Ukraine, saying it would escalate the conflict out of control and would be completely unacceptable for Russia. .

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is seeking a meeting with US President Donald Trump, said on Tuesday (21) that at least 200,000 European troops would be needed to prevent a new Russian attack after any ceasefire agreement.

This Thursday (23) NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte asked the United States to continue supplying Ukraine and said that Europe would pay the bill.

“If this new Trump administration is willing to continue supplying Ukraine with its defense industrial base, the bill will be paid by the Europeans, I am absolutely convinced of this, we have to be willing to do this,” said Rutte

The head of NATO spoke at an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the alliance needs to invest more in defense, increase defense industrial production and take on a greater share of spending on aid to Ukraine.

The secretary-general’s comments came after US President Donald Trump said earlier this week that the European Union should be doing more to support Ukraine.
