Part 2/15:
Amid ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, the Kremlin has reiterated its opposition to deploying peacekeeping forces in the region, despite recent assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting otherwise. During a press briefing, Moscow clarified that it has not changed its stance and remains opposed to international peacekeeping troops on Ukrainian soil, a position consistent with past Russian foreign policy. Russian officials emphasized that any deployment of forces, regardless of their national origin, would be perceived as a threat to Russia’s security—an assertion rooted in Cold War-era mentality and the Kremlin’s ongoing distrust of NATO.
