The head of Russia, Vladimir Putin, stated that deploying a military contingent of European countries on Ukrainian territory would mean a war with Russia.
Putin said this in comments to Russian propagandists after the BRICS summit in Delhi, India.
During his speech, Putin resorted to explicit threats toward European states, accusing their leaders of allegedly inciting their own populations to direct confrontation with the Russian Federation. He presented the discussion of security guarantees for Ukraine as an attempt to revise the results of World War II.
"Are they trying to revise the results of World War II? What are they pushing their peoples toward now? Toward war with the Russian Federation? Now they are talking about how they would deploy troops on Ukrainian territory. This means war with Russia," said the dictator.
Immediately after the threats, the Kremlin leader stated that Russia allegedly "never threatened" Europeans, and that Moscow's threats are supposedly a fabrication.
"There is no such threat and there never was. We do not threaten, we do not intend to threaten European countries. Why would we? No one even contemplates the idea that we have no grounds for any conflict with Europe," Putin said.
In addition, the Russian leader repeated a set of propagandistic clichés to justify Russian war crimes. He called the Revolution of Dignity a "bloody coup d'état" after which Ukraine allegedly began to be "drawn into NATO," and that this supposedly "became the primary cause of the current events."
Putin also put forward more conspiracy theories, accusing the "Western globalist elites" of "attempts to destroy Russia through terrorism in the Caucasus" in the past, and now through the "neonazi regime" in Ukraine.
"Western globalist elites are to blame for the tragedy in Ukraine, but they constantly shift the blame onto Russia," said the war criminal.
To recall: at the beginning of 2026, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and France signed a declaration of intent, which stated the deployment of European troops in Ukraine in the event a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow is signed.
