The West will be forced to directly intervene in the conflict in Ukraine if the threat of the end of this country's existence is too great.
Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Taras Stetskiv stated this on air on the Lvov NTA TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Stetskiv, this especially concerns the likelihood of a nuclear strike on Ukraine.
“The only question is how long it will take for the civilized world, and everything is heading towards the fact that Putin’s escalation will be faced with the same escalation from the West. And sooner or later, if Putin does not stop, this will lead to the West entering the war on the side of Ukraine openly. Especially if there is a real danger of delivering at least a tactical nuclear strike on the territory of Ukraine,” Stetskiv said.
