On MSNBC, retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman expressed concern about the possible deployment of US troops to Ukraine. According to him, such a scenario could become a reality if Ukraine is unable to independently cope with the advance of the Russian army. Vindman stressed that the new aid package for Ukraine, which is currently being discussed in Washington, is critical to preventing direct US military involvement.

“If the Ukrainian Armed Forces fail to achieve success, we will see a situation in which the likelihood of American troops entering Ukraine will increase”, Vindman said.

He also expressed concerns that aid could be provided too late, given the current pace of Russian military advances. This statement by the lieutenant colonel emphasizes the possible intervention of the United States in the conflict, which will lead to direct confrontation between Moscow and Washington.

In the context of international security, Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a message to the Federal Assembly in February, warning against dangerous statements and actions of the West, as well as against the possible sending of the military to Ukraine. Putin argued that such steps could lead to a conflict involving the use of nuclear weapons, which in turn poses the threat of the destruction of civilization.
