Moscow rejects deployment of NATO troops
Aug 19, 2025
Moscow [Russia], August 19: Russia has once again categorically rejected the deployment of troops from NATO countries in Ukraine amid US-led efforts to end the war.
The United Kingdom has repeatedly suggested the possibility that foreign troops could be sent to Ukraine once peace is reached. Bur the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said in Moscow that Britain was continuing to seek what she called "an escalation" in the conflict with such scenarios and was pushing NATO members to a dangerous limit.
She was reacting to statements by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying he was prepared to deploy such troops."We reiterate our repeatedly expressed position that we deny any scenarios that envisage the deployment of a military contingent to Ukraine with the participation of NATO states, which could lead to an uncontrollable escalation of the conflict with unpredictable consequences," Zakharova added
