Deployment of NATO countries’ troops to Ukraine unacceptable for Russia — Kremlin

The idea of deploying troops from NATO countries to Ukraine is unacceptable for Russia, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peslov said at a briefing.

"The deployment of NATO countries’ troops to Ukraine cannot be acceptable for Russia," he pointed out.

According to Peskov, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said this before.

The Daily Telegraph reported earlier, citing Western officials, that Kiev’s European allies intended to suggest to Washington to deploy at least 30,000 service members from European countries to Ukraine.
According to the newspaper, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will present the proposal to US President Donald Trump next week.

Moscow has repeatedly expressed its negative attitude to the idea of deploying European troops to Ukraine under the guise of a peacekeeping mission.
