Sergei Lavrov has said Moscow would regard European peacekeepers deployed to Ukraine as the official involvement of Nato forces in the war against Russia, APA reports citing the Telegraph.
Britain and France have floated the idea of sending a European peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine after any peace deal is secured.
“We are categorically against such actions, they will mean official involvement of Nato forces in war against Russia,” Lavrov said.
It is worth noting Moscow made similar comments before the UK and US sent long-range missiles to Ukraine to strike targets inside Russia.
Donald Trump has also claimed Vladimir Putin had “no problem” with European peacekeepers being sent to Ukraine.
