Putin says foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be legitimate targets
"If any troops appear there, especially now while fighting is ongoing, we assume that they will be legitimate targets,"
"no one should doubt"
"Of course, you can't just take anybody's word for something,"
"unacceptable."
Any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine while active fighting continues will be treated by Russian forces as legitimate targets. Moscow rejects the deployment of peacekeeping forces during the ongoing invasion and conditions any post-conflict arrangements on legally binding security guarantees. Russia asserts it would comply with a treaty to halt its three-year full-scale invasion only if reciprocal guarantees are secured for both Russia and Ukraine. The Kremlin emphasizes the need for formal legal documentation of such agreements. European leaders have pledged a post-ceasefire reassurance force, with 26 allies committing to deploy or maintain military presence to guarantee Ukraine’s security.
