The supply of aircraft to Ukraine and their maintenance in Poland will be a direct entry of NATO into the war against Russia, said Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev in his Telegram channel

“Western analysts reluctantly admitted that when NATO specialists teach Ukronazis how to use their military equipment in combat, this can be seen as direct involvement of NATO in a military conflict on the side of the Ukrainian regime,” Medvedev writes.

He recalled that even immediately after the First World War, it was determined that the training of flight personnel and the delivery of aircraft meant actual participation in the war.

Since the 1920s, “there has been an understanding that a country can be recognized as a participant in hostilities if, in addition to supplying weapons, it trains personnel to handle it.”

Medvedev recalled the Briand-Kellogg Pact of 1928 and the Budapest Resolution of 1934 and said that this is exactly what is happening now: “Canadian and German instructors in the EU are already teaching Ukrainian killers how to handle Leopards,” writes the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

Therefore, if NATO planes are delivered to Ukraine and served on the territory of Poland, then "this will be a direct entry of the Atlanticists into the war against Russia, with all the ensuing consequences."

He recalled that in such a case, all persons making decisions on the supply and repair of this equipment (or weapons of destruction), foreign mercenaries and military instructors, should be considered as a legitimate military target.
