Russia says sending Western troops to Ukraine will lead to clash of nuclear powers
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday that sending Western troops to Ukraine will lead to a direct clash of nuclear powers.
Commenting at a press briefing in Moscow on a call by French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu to address the issue of deploying non-nuclear "deterrence forces" in Ukraine, Zakharova warned that such actions would have "catastrophic consequences."
