(VitalNews.org) – The conflict in Europe is reaching a point of no return as America’s allies are considering sending troops to Ukraine, potentially dragging NATO into direct war with Russia.
The United Kingdom and France are reportedly in talks to deploy military forces to the war-torn country, raising alarms about the risk of World War III.
This drastic move comes amid fears that President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White Hose could withdraw crucial U.S. support for Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression.
The discussions between the U.K. and France seek to create a “core of allies in Europe, focused on Ukraine and broader European security.”
This initiative is seen as an attempt to fill the void left by a possible reduction in American military aid.
The talks have intensified after some European countries, mainly Germany, opposed French President Emmanuel Macron’s initial proposal.
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot took a provocative stance by urging Western allies not to set “red lines” in their support for Ukraine.
In a statement that could escalate tensions with Moscow, Barrot declared, “We do not discard any option.”
The possibility of Western troops on Ukrainian soil marks a dangerous escalation in the conflict.
While initial plans may involve training Ukrainian forces, the presence of NATO personnel in an active war zone dramatically increases the risk of direct confrontation with Russian forces.
This move could play directly into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s narrative of NATO aggression and potentially prompt more Russian military action.
The potential deployment comes as Russia increases its military operations. Reports indicate that Russia has successfully shot down eight Ukrainian ballistic missiles.
Russia has also deployed its own advanced “Oreshnik” intermediate-range missile, capable of traveling at ten times the speed of sound.
Adding to the concerns, Putin has signed an updated nuclear doctrine allowing the use of nuclear weapons if Russia or its ally Belarus are threatened by a non-nuclear nation supported by a nuclear power.
As Europe contemplates this dangerous escalation, the conflict in Ukraine continues to worsen.
North Korean troops have been deployed to support Russia, forcing NATO to hold emergency talks with Kyiv and highlight the global dimensions of this war.
