Kremlin, inevitable conflict if NATO sends troops to Kiev - Last minute. Putin's spokesman, Dmitri Peskov, said a direct military conflict between NATO and Russia would be "inevitable" if soldiers from Western countries were to be sent to Ukraine.
"In this case, we should not talk about probability, but about inevitability, and this is how we evaluate it," Peskov said, according to the official Russian news agency. Tass reports it. (HANDLE)
