Russia’s declaration that foreign troops in Ukraine would be targets, particularly after the UK and France pledged post-ceasefire deployment, really highlights the core of the problem. It’s a direct challenge to any potential peace agreement and throws a wrench into the whole idea of a ceasefire, doesn’t it?
