Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a stark warning to Western nations, declaring that any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be considered “legitimate targets for destruction.”
The threat came during remarks at an economic forum in Russia’s Far East, where Putin criticized Western security cooperation with Ukraine and suggested it was one of the “root causes” of his 2022 invasion.
“If some troops appear there, especially now, during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for destruction,” Putin said.
He added that while Western nations have pledged long-term security commitments to Kyiv, their presence in Ukraine would make no sense if a peace agreement were reached. “And if decisions are reached that lead to peace, to long-term peace, then I simply do not see any sense in their presence on the territory of Ukraine, full stop,” he stated.
Putin’s comments follow an agreement among 26 countries to provide Ukraine with security assurances once hostilities end, a move the Kremlin views as a direct challenge to its influence. The warning highlights Moscow’s ongoing efforts to deter deeper Western involvement in the conflict, even as NATO members continue supplying Ukraine with military aid.
The remarks are likely to intensify concerns over escalation, with Western officials maintaining that their support for Ukraine is defensive in nature.
