Russia will not accept NATO-member forces in Ukraine, Medvedev says
  • Country:
  • Russia

A proposal by European powers to ‌deploy NATO-member troops in Ukraine as part of ⁠a proposed security guarantee and peace deal are unacceptable for Russia, said Dmitry ​Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's ‍Security Council. "What kind of guarantee can we talk about if a foreign contingent of unfriendly ⁠NATO ‌member ⁠states is stationed on the territory of such ‍a state," Medvedev told Reuters, ​TASS and the WarGonzo Russian war blogger ⁠in an interview at his residence outside Moscow.

Medvedev ⁠said that Russia's terms for ending the conflict were unchanged ⁠from 2024 when President Vladimir Putin set ⁠them out ‌in a speech at the foreign ministry.
