The deputy foreign minister and former permanent representative of the Russian Federation to NATO, Alexander Grushko, stated that NATO bases would “burn” if they appeared on the territory of Ukraine, according to Russian media.
These bases will burn. There was already the Yavoriv military base where NATO troops used to train… This is an absolutely legitimate target.
The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitry Medvedev, stated that Russian fighters should be rewarded to the highest possible extent for each Western soldier killed in Ukraine, even prohibiting taking NATO soldiers into captivity.
Grushko also claimed that French President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to send troops to Ukraine was unacceptable. Previously, Macron did not rule out the possibility of sending allied troops to the military conflict zone, but his allies strongly criticised the statement.
