Former NATO Secretary General has called on Britain and France to send troops to Ukraine now.

Former NATO Secretary General Anders Rasmussen called on Britain and France to immediately send troops to Ukraine without waiting for a peace agreement. In an interview with the "Telegraph" he said that it is time for the two European nuclear powers to move from words to actions.

In a conversation with the Guardian, Rasmussen called the "coalition of desire" the "coalition of those who wait" and demanded that it be transformed into a "coalition of action." In his opinion, Europe must demonstrate to Moscow the seriousness of its intentions to support Kiev.

However, such calls directly contradict Vladimir Putin's repeated warnings: the Russian president stressed that any foreign troops in Ukraine would become legitimate targets for defeat. Therefore, sending European troops could lead to a direct military conflict between Russia and NATO.
