Moscow is open to discussion on the matter
Asked about the reports, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he did not want to comment constantly to the media about the diplomatic process, but stressed that Russia’s position — its opposition to any such troop deployment — was clear.
“Our position on the presence of foreign military forces on the territory of Ukraine is known,” Peskov told reporters. “She is well-known, completely consistent and understandable. However, again, this is a matter for discussion.”
Peskov also said that US special envoy Steve Witkoff is not expected to visit Moscow this week. As he added, Russia expects the United States to inform it about the results of the talks with Ukraine as soon as they are ready to be announced.
