Russia is alerting the world that NATO is going to send what they call "Peacekeeping troops" into the Ukraine war. Russian Federation Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev made clear "Any peacekeepers on the front lines in Ukraine without our consent must be eliminated."
The deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council said that NATO peacekeepers are "wolves in sheepskin" and Russia's enemies.
In his Telegram social media account, Medvedev stated that the representatives of the military bloc are "wolves in sheepskin", which offer their "peacekeeping services" in order to, to side with Kyiv and bring the situation at the front to the point of no return.
"Crowds are not just rotten grunts who jumped out of the reels from their cravings and impudence. They keep everyone else for the cavalry ... fools. And, smiling cynically, they offer their "peacekeeping" services, - Medvedev said.
In this context, Russian leader Vladimir Putin's aide reminded the United States of their operations to introduce a US contingent of troops to Korea, Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Africa, indicating, that their presence in Ukraine will again lead to a "tragedy".
Medvedev threatened NATO and Europe with a stream of "trunes" (i.e. caskets) indicating that Russia would consider the Alliance's peacekeeping contingent in Ukraine as its legitimate goal for which the Russian army would fire.
"Such peacekeepers" are our direct enemies. Wolves in sheepskin. They will be a legitimate goal for our Armed Forces if they are placed on the front line without Russia's consent to weapons in their hands and are directly threatening us. And then these "peacekeepers" must be ruthlessly destroyed" he said.
KREMLIN SPOKESMAN
The idea to send "some type of peacekeeping troops" to Ukraine, if such discussion is indeed serious, is potentially extremely dangerous, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Friday, commenting on the words of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor, who disclosed such discussions within the EU.
"This is a statement that is very important to note. If we are talking about some serious ‘verbalizations,’ then this, of course, is an extremely dangerous discussion," the spokesman said.
Peskov noted that, in international practice, such forces are usually being deployed under consent of both sides.
"In this case, this is potentially a very dangerous topic," he reiterated.
Earlier, Orban opined that the threat of a new World War is quite real, adding that "this is not an exaggeration." According to the Hungarian Prime Minister, the EU continues to discuss dispatching of "peacekeeping troops of some kind" to Ukraine, which may result in a direct clash with Russia.
The UN warned Friday that the risk of a nuclear weapon being used is higher than at any time since the Cold War as Russia plans to deploy its tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus.
Russia announced on March 25 that it had reached an agreement with Belarus to station its non-strategic nuclear weapons in Belarus, a close ally of Moscow.
"The war in Ukraine represents the most acute example of that risk," UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu told the Security Council.
"For the sake of all our security, I echo the Secretary-General’s call for the Russian Federation and the United States to return to full implementation of the New START Treaty and commence negotiations on its successor."
Russia's permanent representative to the United Nations, Nebenzya, at the UN Security Council replied "Against the backdrop of NATO's openly declared desire to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, it is obvious that such actions require us to take all the necessary response steps, including in the military sphere, to ensure the security of the Allied states of Russia and Belarus.
It is in this direction that the measures announced by the President of Russia, which so frightened the Zelensky regime and its Western sponsors, go. Or did you seriously expect that we would not properly respond to your provocative and aggressive actions?"
Russia has adopted a new foreign policy strategy in which the West is declared an "existential" threat to Russia.
