Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine before signing a peace agreement would consider Moscow forces to be “legitimate goals”.
Putin’s comments came hours after European leaders fulfilled their obligation to potential peaceful power.
“If there are some units, especially now that the fighting is taking place, we assume that they will be legitimate goals,” Vladivostok said during the panel in the Eastern Economic Forum in the Far Eastern Russian City.
Putin also rejected the idea of peaceful forces in Ukraine after the final agreement and said, “No one should doubt” that Moscow would adhere to the contract to stop her 3½ years invasion of her neighbor.
He said that security guarantees would be needed for Russia and Ukraine.
The Russian leader’s comments on Thursday follow the notes of French President Emmanuel Macron that 26 Ukrainian allies committed themselves to deploy soldiers as “assurance power” for Ukraine as soon as they fought.
Macron spoke after a meeting in Paris about the so -called Coalition of Willingness, a group of 35 countries that support Ukraine. He said that 26 countries were committed to deploying soldiers to Ukraine – or keeping the presence on the ground, sea or in the air – to help guarantee the safety of the country the day after any income or peace.
Russia launched its full invasion of Ukraine 24 February 2022, almost eight years after Moscow illegally attached the Ukrainian Crimean Peninsula. Moscow has repeatedly described the presence of NATO units in Ukraine as part of the “unacceptable” maintenance force.
