The Kremlin has made accusations that NATO are preparing plans to send troops into Ukraine in an attempt to force Moscow on to the negotiation table.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Col. Gen. Alexander Fomin said that Washington has also “been actively” working to lower their threshold to “activate nuclear weapons.”
Fomin said NATO and Western allies have been encouraging Ukraine to strike on the Russian Federation.

Tass reported, Fomin told the Beijing Xiangsham forum, “Kiev receives comprehensive military assistance. The nationalist regime is being provided with modern weapons and encouraged to deliver strikes on the Russian territory.
“In order to force Russia to engage in negotiations based on Kiev’s formulae, NATO countries are making plans of sending their troops to Ukraine.”
“This is a dangerous game, which may lead to a direct military confrontation of nuclear powers,” the Russian deputy foreign minister added.
A very delusional foreign minister then claimed the US “has been actively working on a new edition of its nuclear doctrine,” where “the threshold for activating nuclear weapons may be way lower.”
Fomin warned NATO the Kremlin could “combine potential” with Beijing if war is declared against NATO or the West.
