Russia would treat the deployment of NATO troops to Ukraine as a threat to its security, Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin has said.<\/p>\n

Kelin rejected plans by the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to send ‘peacekeepers’ to Ukraine after a ceasefire is reached with Russia.<\/p>\n

“We will not allow [the deployment] of any NATO member state’s troops on the territory of Ukraine because it will be another line of attack against Russia,”<\/em> he said in an interview with Channel 4 News aired on Wednesday. “We understand that Ukraine wants guarantees. We also need guarantees.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The envoy stated that the presence of foreign troops on Ukrainian soil would be unacceptable. Asked about a Financial Times report that Ukraine and its European backers had agreed to deploy Western troops in the event of a violation of a potential ceasefire, he said these plans are “dead.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Kelin reiterated that Russia is seeking a comprehensive peace deal with Ukraine rather than an immediate, unconditional ceasefire. He added that normalization of ties between Russia and the West, as well as trust-building measures, would help prevent further conflicts.<\/p>\n

“There are positive and negative security guarantees. If you send troops, this is one thing. But many agreements that end conflicts [are based] on political guarantees, legal guarantees. The best would be a good relationship between the United States and Russia, between European countries and Russia, including London.”<\/em> <\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin has cited Ukraine’s military cooperation with NATO and its aspirations to join the US-led bloc as a key cause of the conflict. Moscow has warned that it would treat any Western troops in Ukraine as legitimate military targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
