NATO forces in Ukraine will never be acceptable for Russia.
While Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky floated on Friday that ‘thousands of foreign troops’ could be deployed to his country under post-war security guarantees, Russian President Vladimir Putin again warned that Moscow would regard these as ‘legitimate military targets’.
Warmongering French President Emmanuel Macron insisted on Thursday (4) that ‘26 countries’ had pledged to provide post-war security guarantees to Ukraine, which would include an international force on land and sea and in the air.
But that will simply not fly with the Russians, since keeping NATO out of Ukraine and away from their borders is of paramount importance for them.
Reuters reported:
“Russia has long said one of its reasons for going to war in Ukraine was to prevent NATO from admitting Kiev as a member and placing its forces in Ukraine.
‘Therefore, if some troops appear there, especially now, during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for destruction’, Putin told an economic forum in Russia’s far eastern city of Vladivostok.”
“‘And if decisions are reached that lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any sense in their presence on the territory of Ukraine, full stop’, the Russian president added.”
1️⃣ RUSSIA’S BRIGHT RED LINE
Putin’s message is clear: foreign troops arriving in Ukraine to ‘guarantee peace’ will instantly “become a military target.”
