In a recent meeting in Saudi Arabia, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized the constructive nature of talks regarding the Ukraine war and the mutual commitment to finding a settlement. He reiterated Russia's stance against NATO troops in Ukraine, labeling their presence unacceptable and perceiving NATO's expansion as a direct threat. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister and opposition leader Keir Starmer both expressed readiness to contribute troops to Ukraine for security guarantees. Reports suggest the EU might send a significant number of peacekeeping troops if a ceasefire is agreed upon with Russia.
Lavrov said that NATO troops being deployed to Ukraine even under different flags "is unacceptable for Russia." Russian officials view NATO's expansion as a "direct threat to Russia."
