Medvedev warns West against EU troops in Ukraine amid war; ‘Destroy Peacekeepers Mercilessly’

Russia has warned the West over its plan to discuss deployment of peacekeepers to Ukraine amid war. Putin ally and Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dimitry Medvedev said that peacekeepers, if deployed without Russia’s consent, will be legitimate targets for Russia and will be destroyed mercilessly. The Kremlin says talks of EU troops in Ukraine are ‘extremely dangerous’. The Kremlin statement came after Hungarian PM Viktor Orban said that EU leaders are close to holding a discussion on whether the bloc should send peacekeepers to Ukraine.
