Sending NATO peacekeepers to Ukraine will turn into a direct clash between the alliance and RUSSIA, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a meeting with students and teachers of MGIMO.
“Our Polish colleagues have already stated that there will be a NATO summit now, we need to send peacekeepers. I hope they understand what they are talking about. This will be the very direct clash between the Russian and NATO armed forces, which everyone not only wanted to avoid, but said that it should never take place in principle, ”Lavrov said.
According to him, if peacekeepers are sent to Ukraine, which is probably planned from the western border, Poland may pursue the goal of creating a "headquarters in Lvov and staying there."

Speaking about the second goal of this "provocation", Lavrov said that "there is already talk not only about peacekeepers", but also that the Baltic countries "can send battalions" to "defend Ukraine."
