The Kremlin has issued a sharp rebuke to a proposal from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggesting the deployment of NATO peacekeeping troops, with Russian officials warning that such a move would have significant security ramifications.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin’s spokesperson, dismissed the idea outright, stating that the presence of NATO forces in Ukraine was “unacceptable” and a direct threat to Russia’s interests.
“This causes concern for us, because we’re talking about sending military contingents—about the possible, eventual sending of military contingents from NATO countries to Ukraine,” Peskov said.
His comments came in response to Starmer’s proposal to Europeans to deploy troops to Ukraine as a part of “security guarantee.” Starmer will be traveling to Washington next week to try to convince Trump to agree to his proposal and get the US involved as a “backstop” to deter Russia.
