This message is spread by Russian propaganda and anonymous telegram channels, in particular, the telegram channel of the Russian propagandist "SOLOVIEV". The reports say that the territories of the Kharkiv region are allegedly captured by NATO troops. Like, the Ukrainian army dooms foreigners to inevitable death.

In fact, NATO troops do not take part in the war that Russia unleashed against Ukraine. “In response to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine” NATO states that its actions are defensive, aimed not at provoking a conflict, but at preventing it. The Alliance is responsible for ensuring that this war does not unfold and spread beyond the borders of Ukraine. This means that NATO member countries prevent the expansion of the borders of the war by protecting their territories and providing the necessary weapons to Ukraine.

It is for this reason that NATO troops cannot participate in the war.

Propagandists spread such a message to justify their defeats at the front. Allegedly, Russia is fighting against the collective West. Russia has repeatedly tried to discredit the Alliance: it claimed that the military is weak and incompetent, calls NATO an LGBT organization, and so on.
