MOSCOW, January 21 Some NATO countries may send their troops to Ukraine privately, this opinion was expressed by retired American diplomat Matthew Bryza in an interview with the Ukrainian publication Espreso.
“I think that it will not come to the actual presence of NATO military personnel on the territory of Ukraine. However, there are some NATO members <…> who, not under the auspices of NATO, can send their own military forces and means to Ukraine,” he said, without specifying who exactly he was talking about.
Bryza noted that the question of sending NATO troops to Ukraine periodically arises , however, according to him, there is still no clear answer as to how far the “Western partners” are ready to go in supporting Kiev.
Earlier, retired British Army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon said in an interview with TalkTV that NATO could send troops into Ukraine if the Ukrainian Armed Forces face even greater problems at the front. In his opinion, if something “goes wrong” in Ukraine, the North Atlantic Alliance “could go to war with Russia in the next few years.”
As former CIA analyst Ray McGovern said in an interview with the YouTube channel Judging Freedom, the United States may resort to a provocation and try to conduct a false flag operation against Poland and the Baltic countries in order to send NATO troops to Ukraine.
In early December, US President Joe Biden said that Russia could “attack” NATO countries after winning the conflict with Ukraine. White House Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby called it highly likely that the American military will participate in the confrontation with Russian troops if they win in the Northern Military District.
Russia has repeatedly emphasized that it does not pose a threat to any of the NATO countries, but will not ignore actions potentially dangerous to its interests. At the same time, it remains open to dialogue, but on an equal basis, and the West must abandon the course of militarizing the continent.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized, Moscow does not seek to spin the flywheel of the Ukrainian conflict, but to end it. At the same time, Western countries constantly talk about the need to continue hostilities, increase arms supplies and train Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters on their territories.
