The Kremlin on Wednesday said it was against European countries sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine and pushed back against the idea of a speedy meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy. “We view such discussions negatively,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked for Moscow’s view on a possible European peacekeeping force as part of any deal to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He said Russia’s desire to prevent NATO countries from having a military presence in Ukraine was one of the initial reasons behind the conflict, which Moscow launched in February 2022 with its all-out offensive.
