Putin threatens Western forces to “fail” threats when deployed to Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned on Friday that Western military personnel deployed to Ukraine would become “a legitimate target of failure” and once a ceasefire is reached, it poses a new threat to the ideas of international peacekeeping personnel.

“This is one of the root causes of (war): trying to participate in Ukraine In NATO“So if any troops appear there, especially during ongoing hostilities, we think they will be the legitimate target of failure,” Putin said at an economic forum in the Russian Far East.

His remarks came the second day after Europe and allies expressed their support for the post-war mission. At a party for Ukrainian President Paris Volodymyr Zelenskyy It was announced that 26 countries are committed to guaranteeing security in Kiev, which may involve military contributions “in the sky, the ocean and the ground”. Once hostilities cease, French President Emmanuel Macron described the promise as a potential deployment.

Putin retorted that if Moscow and Kiev can finalize a political solution, foreign soldiers would only complicate things. “If a decision that leads to a long-term peace, then I just have no reason to exist on Ukrainian territory,” he said. “Because if such an agreement is reached, please don’t doubt that Russia will implement them completely.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Russian leaders’ long-term dissatisfaction with NATO, providing Ukraine with Western assurances, which amounted to pushing the alliance eastward.

Russian state media said: “What is one of the causes of this conflict? It is when the foundation of security assurance for our country begins to erode, and when Ukraine is drawn to NATO, NATO’s military infrastructure begins to develop towards our borders.” He added that any solution requires “assurances for us and the Ukrainians.”

Zelenskyy publicly dismissed the proposal, believing that Moscow once again tried to delay serious negotiations. “Our American partners told me that Putin invited me to Moscow. I think if anyone wants the meeting not to attend, they should invite me to Moscow.”

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha insisted that Kiev was ready for direct negotiations, but based solely on neutrality. “At present, at least seven countries are ready to meet between Ukraine and Russian leaders to end the war – Austria, the Holy See, Switzerland, Tirkiy and three Gulf countries,” he wrote on social media.
