Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that Russia is ready to fight if the West wants to battle over Ukraine "on the battlefield".
"It's their right. If they want it on the battlefield, it will be on the battlefield," the minister said, according to Russia's state-run RIA Novosti news agency.
The minister, who has held the post since 2004, was speaking at a parliamentary hearing where his reappointment as foreign minister is being discussed following the new term of President Vladimir Putin.
Lavrov's statement comes after several threats from Moscow over French President Emmanuel Macron's position, who has admitted the possibility of sending Western ground troops to Ukraine should Russia "break the front lines" and Kyiv requests such support.
The leader of the Democratic Party in the United States House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries, has also said that there is a "significant likelihood" that US troops will be sent to fight in Ukraine.
Last week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the announcement of new Russian nuclear exercises was a response to statements by "Western representatives" about a possible deployment of "NATO troops" to Ukraine.
These leaders, according to Peskov, "spoke about the desire and even the intention to send armed contingents to Ukraine, that is, to put NATO soldiers in front of the Russian army".
The Kremlin spokesman considered that this is a "new cycle of escalation of tension", denouncing the "very dangerous rhetoric" of the French president.
