Moscow rejects any deployment of foreign troops to Ukraine following a peace agreement and emphasizes that fighting would have to resume in that case, with those forces becoming legitimate targets for the Russian army, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting in the Kremlin with US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
The Russian head of state reiterated that Moscow considers the presence of foreign troops in Ukraine unacceptable.
"The Europeans are aware of this. And what do we hear from them? That once a peace agreement is signed, they will immediately deploy troops to Ukrainian territory," Putin said, outlining the situation. "What does this mean? We have already talked about it: for us, they are a legitimate target, meaning the war will resume immediately."
"What is the US administration proposing to us?" the Russian President added. "President Trump suggests: let’s reach an agreement on mechanisms to ensure security in Europe as a whole. And what do we hear from the Europeans? They say: 'No--only after peace is achieved in Ukraine.' But once peace is reached there, they intend to deploy troops.
"And that means a continuation of the war. We've come full circle," Putin concluded.[TASS]

Putin: Europäische Truppen in der Ukraine würden Krieg mit Russland bedeuten
ReplyDeleteBei Gesprächen mit den US-Gesandten Steve Witkoff und Jared Kushner im Kreml hat der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin vor der Stationierung europäischer Truppen in der Ukraine nach einem Friedensschluss gewarnt.
Russland lehne ausländische Streitkräfte in der Ukraine als Sicherheitsbedrohung ab, so Putin. Diese würden als legitime militärische Ziele betrachtet, was zu einem sofortigen Wiederaufflammen des Krieges führen würde.
