The introduction of NATO troops into Ukraine will serve as a de-escalation rather than an escalation of the conflict. The opinion that support for Ukraine by Western countries will lead to a Third World War is wrong. But if you try to appease the dictator and give him what 1/19

he demands, then this could be the cause of the Third World War. After all, if Putin gets his way, it will serve as a signal to other dictatorships like China, Iran, and the DPRK that the West can be intimidated, that it can be manipulated and they can achieve their goals 2/19
through aggression. Putin has been threatening the Baltic countries and Poland for a long time and will definitely not stop with Ukraine. It is the lack of an adequate response to the aggressor that has always led in the history of mankind to large-scale bloody all-out wars. 3/19
Thus began the Second World War, when the Western world allowed Hitler to invade Czech, then Poland, and then he dragged the whole world into war. The war that is going on right now in Ukraine is a direct consequence of the West’s ignorance of the war that Russia 4/19
carried out in 2008 when it attacked Georgia. This is also a direct consequence of the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 with the actual capture of Donetsk and Lugansk. Every time the aggressor’s actions are not rebuffed, the next time his actions become larger-scale, 5/19
and now in 2022, Vladimir Putin is trying to capture and destroy all of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin hoped that with a full-scale invasion he would be able to suppress the West very easily, because he would simply not interfere, as he always would, stand, condemn and do nothing. 6/19
Moreover, the West and NATO have much greater capabilities and it is Putin who should really be afraid. And he is afraid when he hears the voices of Emmanuel Macron, Radoslaw Sikorski, Kaja Kallas, Elina Valtonen and Baiba Braze, who support the entry of Western troops into 7/19
Ukraine. It should be noted that opinions that this will lead to escalation are almost no longer heard and this is a good sign. In Europe, everything starts with discussion and then action follows. The discussion is already underway and perhaps we will see NATO troops, or 8/19
troops of the coalition of European countries in Ukraine. And this scares Russia very much. This is noticeable by the fact that the propaganda channels of Simonyan, Kiselev and Solovyov again began to threaten nuclear war. We must understand that this is a common bluff 9/19
and this is the main weapon that Putin uses against the West. Seeing that the threat of nuclear weapons has always worked before, he pulls it out every time he feels backed into a corner. The delay in American assistance to Ukraine was due, among other things, to the fact 10/19
that Putin threatened nuclear war even by using official channels, calling directly to Washington and blackmailing him. The United States severely limited the assistance it provided to Ukraine throughout the war, concerned that Russia might carry out its threats of 11/19
escalation and sharply criticized more aggressive European states. Many politicians and experts in the US and Europe repeat the theses of Putin himself, warning that any external intervention in Ukraine will lead to World War 3. in fact, sending European troops would be the 12/19
normal response to a conflict of this kind. Russia's invasion has upset the regional balance of power and Europe has a vital interest in correcting this imbalance. In addition, Europe and the United States have long been subject to hybrid attacks, such as GPS jamming, 13/19
protests and other tactics. An investigation in the Czech Republic into explosions at military warehouses in 2014 also proved Russia’s involvement. The time to act has long come. But the US aid package has now been agreed upon and is already arriving in Ukraine and, lo and 14/19
behold, nothing happened. The red lines that Putin draws are actually brown and have an unpleasant smell. Like everything in Russia, except piss. Putin is well aware that if Europe uses its resources, he will not be able to compete with it. He's afraid of it. He cannot cope 15/19
with the Ukrainian army. The army of Western countries is even more difficult for him. The coalition army of Western countries may not directly participate in battles, but perform security and logistics functions, maintain equipment, conduct training, and so on. But this 16/19
would free up Ukraine’s fighters, which it so badly needs now, ahead of the operation to liberate Crimea and others, which, apparently, they are now planning. The more you resist the aggressor, the less desire he will have to continue his bloody adventure. Ukraine has 17/19
already paid too great a price for the West's delay, but after more than two years of war, it is clear that everything Putin says is a bluff. His army is a bluff, nuclear weapons are a bluff. The threat of World War III is a bluff. But a threat becomes a reality if no 18/19
action is taken against it. Escalation will occur if we do not demonstrate determination and strength. 19/19
