A Russian diplomat has warned of consequences should Western countries deploy troops in Ukraine, with Yulia Zhdanova saying Moscow views negatively the prospect of a Western military contingent being stationed in a neighboring country.
Zhdanova's remarks reflect Russia's longstanding opposition to the presence of NATO or other Western forces near its borders, a position Moscow has repeatedly reiterated throughout the war in Ukraine.
The comments come amid ongoing discussions among some Western governments about potential security guarantees for Ukraine, which have at times included proposals involving a foreign military presence as part of a broader postwar security arrangement.
Russian officials have consistently characterized any such deployment as a threat to its security interests, and have warned of unspecified consequences should Western nations proceed with plans to station troops in Ukraine.
It was not immediately clear what specific measures Russia might take in response to such a deployment, or whether Zhdanova's comments were tied to a particular proposal currently under discussion among Ukraine's allies.
