The Kremlin has declared that any NATO peacekeepers sent to Ukraine would be treated as legitimate military targets. This statement is a direct response to recent discussions among some European leaders about possibly deploying troops.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian authorities and the U.S. embassy in Kyiv have issued separate warnings of a potential large-scale Russian air attack. They advise citizens to prepare for air raid alarms.
The warnings and threats mark the latest escalation on day 1,416 of the war. Russia's statement aims to discourage deeper Western military involvement, while Ukraine braces for a possible new offensive.
