Russian president’s threat follows French proposal for postwar support for Kyiv that would include presence of Nato countries’ forces

Vladimir Putin has said any western troops placed in Ukraine would be “legitimate targets” for Russian strikes, upping the stakes as Kyiv’s allies scramble to come up with a convincing offer of postwar support to Ukraine.

Speaking a day after the French president, Emmanuel Macron, announced still-vague plans for a package of support for Ukraine backed by 26 nations, Putin on Friday said any guarantees that involved boots on the ground would violate Moscow’s longstanding objections to Nato troops in Ukraine.

      You clearly have no clue what you are talking if you think russia is anywhere close to the US.

      It would be like if during the invasion of Iraq, the US annexed Basra, banned Islam, sent anyone caught speaking arabic into basement torture camps and sent hundreds of thousand Iraqi children to Texas and made them eat pork chops and read about how great US oligarchs are.

      So you were wrong about all western countries selling weapons to Israel.
