Radoslaw Sikorski’s comments came during a panel discussion marking Poland’s 25th anniversary in the alliance. He refrained from naming the specific countries involved, amid ongoing deliberations within NATO about potential intervention.
Spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova commented on the statement by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski about the presence of soldiers NATO countries in Ukraine, telling Sputnik, they couldn’t hide it any longer.
Earlier in the day, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said during a panel discussion at an event dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the country’s accession to the military alliance that some NATO countries have already sent their military to Ukraine.
Earlier, the diplomat Sikorski said that the presence of NATO forces in Ukraine was not unthinkable, adding that he appreciated Macron’s initiative on the possibility of sending Western troops to Ukraine.
Polish President Andrzej Duda, in turn, expressed his opinion that Warsaw needs to build a large airport to transport NATO troops.
At the end of February, Macron said that France would do everything to prevent Russia from winning this war?
According to him, the leaders of Western countries have discussed the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and, although no consensus had been reached in this regard, nothing could be ruled out.
Later, the French president, who was sharply criticized for his statements, noted that all his words were carefully considered. He also emphasized that Paris has no limits or red lines on the issue of assistance to Kiev.
At the same time, the authorities of many European countries stated that there is no talk of transferring military personnel to Ukraine.
In particular, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius emphasized that Germany would not send its military personnel to the republic.
In addition, the head of the German government clarified that NATO countries as a whole are not going to do this.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto likewise said that France and Poland have no right to speak on behalf of NATO, and the alliance’s intervention in the conflict would erase the path to diplomacy.
Commenting on Sikorski’s revelation, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told Sputnik that the alliance’s members could no longer hide it.
In his annual address to the Russian Federal Assembly in late February, President Vladimir Putin warned that the consequences of a possible NATO intervention in Ukraine would be tragic for the alliance’s deployed troops.

Paradoxically, sending NATO troops to Ukraine would be Russia’s opportunity to strike back upon NATO for the intransigence of her dishonorable expansion. Facts are not reality. Reality is the interpretation of facts.
Game over!
Mr.Putin has already said it would take no more than 2 Sarmat missiles to destroy France –at that rate it would only need one (1) to destroy the UK as each missile can hold 10 nukes — I don’t think my small village would be a target . Macron must reckon that Trump will win in the USA elections and cut back defense for NATO so he is putting himself forward as “EU Leader ” to win votes which I don’t think he will get so he is being “suicidal ” in his rhetoric . Trump might bluster and threaten… Read more »
It could eventually turn into a nuclear confrontation, where small nuclear weapons will be used to clear NATO from its sins upon humanity?
I hope not unless NATO/USA puts Russia in jeopardy .
And that won’t happen to superior Russia. They have the best weapons and overall technology at the moment, especially electronic warfare capabilities are out of the zone?
The only real problem HK is if NATO positions nuclear missiles right on Russia’s border ,little time to stop them -OTOH-Russian nuclear missile submarines parked on US shores can pay back quickly .
Mr.Putin has also said that his missile systems are ready for action ,meaning they have been programmed for all the US/EU /UK cities and military bases .
While NK has the largest submarine fleet in the world, they got some of them hanging along the Pacific shoreline of the USA.
I hope you would safe, if this event was to occur.
Thanks for the concern LS -appreciated !
Just incase Sputnik conveniently forgot to inform you of this important newsflash. 👉 An enormous wall of flame has been filmed erupting from a vital Russian gas pipeline after a suspected Ukrainian attack on Putin’s energy network. According to Russian Telegram channel SHOT a “powerful fire” engulfed the pipeline near the village of Lykhma in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, in Siberia.
Also, the victor needs concrete to rebuild cities in Ukraine. Russia has only destroyed or disabled certain infrastructure.
Mr.Putin has already said publicly he would do that CSM -rebuild cities flattened by Zelensky and now part of Russia –observe that Russia unlike Ukraine flattens Ukrainian military equipment and those fighting against its forces –not–civilian infrastructure unless its hiding weapons which is what Zelensky does not caring for his own citizens but Zelensky is a Russian ( born ) traitor who couldn’t speak Ukrainian he had to learn it .
NATO is just like CIA, they lied, cheat, stole and murdered!
