Putin Warns Western Troops in Ukraine Would Be 'Legitimate Targets' as 26 Nations Signal Ceasefire Force
- During the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok on September 5, 2025, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Moscow would consider any foreign military forces entering Ukraine prior to the signing of a peace deal as valid targets for attack.
- This statement comes in the wake of Putin's recent high-profile visits abroad, including stops in both China and the U.S., during a period marked by increasing Western frustration over his refusal to negotiate a peace agreement following over three years of extensive invasion.
- French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 allied nations have committed to sending military personnel or maintaining a presence on land, sea, or air to support Ukraine’s security following any ceasefire, with the goal of deterring further significant aggression without positioning forces directly at the front lines.
- Putin insisted that Russia would honor an agreement to end its three-and-a-half-year-long invasion but rejected the proposal of deploying peacekeeping troops after a peace settlement, emphasizing that there should be no doubt about Russia’s commitment.
- The Kremlin reiterated that Western security guarantees involving foreign troops are unacceptable, underscoring the complex challenges ahead before any high-level peace meeting can occur.
