Europe’s plans to deploy troops in Ukraine cause concern for Kremlin - Peskov
The Kremlin has called the deployment of NATO troops on the territory of Ukraine "unacceptable to Russia."
According to Censor.NET, citing Russian media, this was stated by the dictator's spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
According to Peskov, reports of Europe's plans to deploy troops in Ukraine cause concern in the Kremlin.
"Media reports about the EU's planned deployment of its military in Ukraine are sometimes contradictory, and the Kremlin is closely monitoring them," the Russian dictator's spokesman said.
Peacekeeping forces in Ukraine
Earlier, it was reported that French President Emmanuel Macron would discuss with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk the deployment of peacekeeping forces in Ukraine in the event of an agreement to end the current phase of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk denied that Polish troops would be sent to Ukraine after the ceasefire.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas assessed the possibility of sending a European peacekeeping mission to Ukraine.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crozetto expressed his readiness to support a peacekeeping mission to Ukraine if peace is achieved.
In turn, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani called these discussions "premature."
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry stated that several countries are currently considering participation in a potential contingent of Western allies in Ukraine. However, specific plans for the deployment of foreign troops are still under discussion.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko said that Russia is categorically negative about the prospect of European troops in Ukraine, no matter what role they take on.
