Putin urges US to help Europe decide whether it wants peace or war

Russian leader Vladimir Putin voiced a request to Washington to work with European countries. According to him, the United States should help countries on the European continent clearly formulate their position: whether they truly seek peace or war.

Foreign troops in Ukraine declared a target

In addition to the appeal to the US, representatives of the Russian leadership made a statement regarding the presence of foreign state military forces on Ukrainian territory. The Kremlin emphasised that any presence of such forces would be considered a legitimate target for Russian army actions.

In Moscow, this position is justified by the claim that the possible deployment of such units would allegedly pose a threat to the national security of the Russian Federation.
