[ColonelCassad] Russia will never participate in negotiations where the idea of ​​deploying European troops in Ukraine is discussed (c) Matvienko
Based.
The war in Ukraine began, among other things, because of the threat of NATO troops being deployed in Ukraine and Ukraine being drawn into NATO.
Accordingly, agreeing to the deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine means actually abandoning one of the main goals of the SVO and will automatically mean Russia's defeat. Therefore, the Kremlin cannot agree to this.
The West knows about this, so they are deliberately throwing in this topic in order to torpedo Trump's separate negotiations with Putin.
It is easier to fight as we are now than to agree to NATO's presence in Ukraine and then still fight in worse conditions for Russia.
