I cannot help but react to French President Emmanuel Macron's statement that he does not rule out the deployment of NATO ground forces in Ukraine if the front line between Ukraine and Russia is violated.

Axar.az reports that these words were said by the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico.

"Even if a thousand applications are received from Ukraine, this country is not a member of NATO. I am sending a very clear, decisive signal to all of Slovakia. No matter what they ask of us, our soldiers will not cross the Slovak-Ukrainian border. I repeat, it will not pass. We will not contribute to this military frenzy, because we know very well what the current situation is in Ukraine. I consider these statements to be a step towards the Third World War," Fico said.
