Putin Warns Deployment of NATO Troops to Ukraine Could Lead to Geopolitical Disaster

On October 14, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that if NATO deploys troops to Ukraine to confront Russian military forces, the result will be a geopolitical disaster of colossal proportions.

BLP previously reported on the statements NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made where he indicated that the military alliance would be willing to provide a “united response” against Russia should it decide to attack NATO members.

On October 11, 2022, Stoltenberg subsequently declared that a Russian victory during the Russo-Ukrainian conflict would represent a NATO defeat.
