US EditionPutin: Foreign Troops ‘Targets’
Putin emphasized that Western military presence in Ukraine during ongoing conflict would face attacks, rejecting peace talks unless security guarantees cover both Russia and Ukraine.
- On September 5, 2025, at an economic forum in Vladivostok, Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned that Moscow would consider any Western military forces stationed in Ukraine as valid targets for attack.
- This warning followed ongoing conflict since Russia's 2022 invasion, amid talks of postwar security guarantees for Ukraine involving 26 countries pledging a multinational force on land, sea, and air.
- Putin emphasized that no serious discussions about these security arrangements have occurred and offered to host talks with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy in Moscow, which Kyiv has called unacceptable.
- Ukrainian President Zelenskyy responded on September 5, 2025, stating readiness for any meetings but doubting Putin’s willingness to end the war, while Western nations, including France and Britain, signaled support for Ukraine's defense.
- These developments suggest continued deep divisions over security guarantees and indicate that any deployment of foreign forces in Ukraine risks further escalation amid ongoing military operations.
