Russia responds to NATO’s plan to send troops to Ukraine with nuclear drills

Dmitry Peskov, a spokesperson for the Kremlin, said, “It is obvious that we are talking about statements from Mr. Macron and statements from British representatives.”

Russia’s next nuclear drills, the Kremlin announced on Monday, are a reaction to “unprecedented” remarks on the deployment of NATO soldiers into Ukraine, notably those made by French President Emmanuel Macron.

President Vladimir Putin had authorised drills, which the defence ministry had previously stated would take place “in the near future” in response to “threats” from the West that were not yet clear.

When reporters questioned what had sparked the drills, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov responded, “It’s obvious we are talking about statements from Mr. Macron and statements from British representatives.”

“They are talking about the readiness and even the intention of sending armed contingents to Ukraine — that is, in fact, to put NATO soldiers in front of the Russian military,” he stated.

“Tense situations are starting over with this new round. Since it is uncommon, more precautions must be taken.”

In an interview conducted last week, Macron stated that if Russia were to breach the Ukrainian front lines and Kyiv requested it, then the issue of deploying soldiers to that country would “legitimately” come up.

Macron remarked, “I’m not ruling anything out because we are facing someone who is not ruling anything out,” targeting Putin.

Similar remarks were previously made by Macron in February.

In an interview last week, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron stated that Ukraine had the “right” to strike targets within Russia.

In order to combat Russia, Ukrainian forces have relied on military assistance from the West; however, NATO has said that it would not send soldiers into Ukraine.
