Western troops in Ukraine would be ‘targets’ for Russian forces: Putin | Russia-Ukraine war News

President Vladimir Putin has rejected proposed Western security guarantees for Ukraine, warning that any foreign troops deployed in the neighbouring country would be a “legitimate target” for Russia’s military.

Putin’s warning on Friday came a day after dozens of nations pledged to send troops to the war-battered country as a security guarantee in the event of a hoped-for peace deal between Moscow and Kyiv.
