Russia has said it is opposed to the fact that NATO troops on Earth in Ukraine, even if they have operated under a different flag.
Russia has repeated its objection to the potential unfolding of European peacekeepers in Ukraine as part of any war -stop agreement after US President Donald Trump said Moscow would be open to such a move.
Trump said on Monday that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin also accepted the idea of European peacekeepers in Ukraine.
“Yes, he will accept this,” Trump said. “I specially asked him this question. He has no problem with that. “
Asked by reporters on Tuesday for Trump statement On the issue of Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov refrained from the US President, but effectively confirmed Russia's opposition against the idea.
“There is a position on this issue expressed by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov. I have nothing to add to this and I have nothing to comment. I leave this without comment, “he said.
Russia has repeatedly stated that it is opposed to NATO troops on the spot in Ukraine, with Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov saying last week that Moscow will view it as “threat“For the sovereignty of Russia, even if the troops operate there under a different flag.
Brian Hughes, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, did not respond directly to the Kremlin's last comment, but said the Trump administration would continue to work with Moscow and Kiev to end the war.
“President Trump's commitment to end this brutal, bloody war, and then the establishment of the framework for lasting peace will not be negotiated through the media,” Hughes said.
“The Trump administration knows that maintaining peace requires Europe to do more and we have heard leaders as (French) President (Emmanuel) Macron and the British Prime Minister (Kayer) Starmer – like others – suggest they do just that. We continue to work with Russia and Ukraine for peace because you cannot finish war without talking to both sides. “
EU leaders to make conversations
The leaders of the 27 EU Member States will meet from a video conference on Wednesday to view meetingFocused on Ukraine, between Macron and Trump in Washington.
During his discussion at the White House, Macron insists on the need to provide “security guarantees” to prevent Russia from attacking again in the future.
“We want a quick deal, but not an agreement that is fragile,” the French president insists, saying that peace cannot “mean the capitulation of Ukraine.”
European Council Chairman Antonio Costa has announced to X that the video conference will also focus on discussing the “exceptional” European summit on March 6 in Brussels, which he believes will be a “decisive moment” for Ukraine and European security.
Trump's pursuit of negotiations between senior American and Russian diplomats without the involvement of Ukrainian or European leaders has increased tensions, with a question calling Washington's commitment to his security.
The war in Ukraine may end “within weeks,” Trump assured Monday, saying that Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski could go to Washington “this week or the next”.
“First we need a truce. I think this can be locked in the coming weeks, “Macron added.
