The Kremlin has again reacted today against any idea of involving NATO troops in Ukraine, calling it a non-negotiable red line in efforts to end the war. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that while American peace efforts are "very important" and could help resolve the conflict, Russia will not accept any military presence of the Atlantic Alliance on Ukrainian territory.
Peskov also criticized European proposals to provide security guarantees for Ukraine, calling them unacceptable for Russia's strategic interests. He stressed that any high-level peace talks between Moscow and Kiev must be well-prepared to have a real effect, implying that Russia is not against dialogue, but seeks it under conditions clearly defined by the Kremlin itself.
Regarding the recent airstrikes in Ukraine, which have hit energy infrastructure, Peskov attempted to justify the actions by saying that Russia only strikes military or related targets, a claim that contradicts evidence from the ground.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway for Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China, which Peskov described as "unprecedented." Putin will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in the port city of Tianjin from August 31 to September 1, alongside more than 20 world leaders.
After China, on September 5, Putin will visit the Russian port city of Vladivostok, near the borders with China and North Korea, a clear signal of the increasingly pronounced orientation of Russian foreign policy towards the East.
