According to Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, NATO's expansion to Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova is a matter of life and death for Russia.

Peskov told Rossiya 1 about the issue: "Of course, for us, this is, well, essentially a matter of life and death already, " talking about NATO's extension to include nations like Ukraine and other former Soviet Union members.

The Kremlin spokesperson stated, "The equipment is beginning to make its way into Ukraine, military instructors are coming there, there are several thousand of them already," adding that "NATO is gradually making its way into Ukraine and then, the only thing left will be to make it official."

When asked if a military escalation could be hazardous to Ukraine's statehood, Peskov responded "undoubtedly," adding that "this is something President Putin talked about on multiple occasions and this is something that Kiev knows perfectly well and Washington knows perfectly well."

Russia released its proposals for security agreements with the US and NATO earlier this month. The draft documents included a proposal to avoid deploying intermediate- and short-range missiles in areas where they could endanger either party to the agreement, as well as other measures.
