Troops will be 'target'
The Gazette
|September 06, 2025
RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has said that any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine before a peace agreement has been signed would be considered “legitimate targets” by Moscow's forces.
-
His comments came hours after European leaders pledged again their commitment to a potential peacekeeping force. Speaking during a panel at the Eastern Economic Forum in the Russian city of Vladivostok, Mr Putin said: “If any troops appear there, especially now while fighting is ongoing, we assume that they will be legitimate targets.”
Mr Putin also dismissed the idea of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine after a final peace deal, saying “no one should doubt” that Moscow would comply with a treaty to halt its three-and-a-half year full-scale invasion of its neighbour.
