Moscow (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday stated that any presence of European soldiers in Ukrainian territory would be “absolutely unacceptable”, as Ukraine’s partners seek security guarantees for the nation.
These remarks came amid Ukraine’s allies working on security guarantees and considering options for reassurance or monitoring forces in Ukraine, which Russia outright rejects. Moscow has consistently stated its opposition to deploying European or NATO troops in Ukraine.
“This would be absolutely unacceptable for the Russian Federation,”
Lavrov said, when asked by a journalist about security guarantees for Ukraine as
“foreign intervention on some part of Ukrainian territory.”
Earlier, Lavrov stated that Moscow would see that as a “direct threat” to Russia’s sovereignty, even if the troops operating there had another flag.
What assurances are Ukraine and NATO allies working on?
Following this week’s historic White House meetings, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine and its allies are “already working on the concrete content of the security guarantees.” NATO military leaders also convened on Wednesday to discuss the specifics of these potential security assurances for Ukraine, as efforts continue to broker a ceasefire in Russia’s offensive.
Later on Wednesday, Andriy Yermak, Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, stated that Kyiv has initiated intensive coordination with European and NATO security advisers to secure concrete military guarantees and prevent future aggression.
Moreover, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer also led a virtual meeting of nations willing to support Ukraine following a peace agreement — known as the “coalition of the willing.” Furthermore, the UK has also sent its Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, to Washington in order to engage in discussions about how the US might help.

Typical Lavrov, isn’t it? Always on about what’s “unacceptable”—maybe he just needs a stronger espresso to lighten the mood! ☕️😏 Looks like Lavrov’s got some serious opinions on who can crash the Ukrainian party—guess he prefers the guests to be wearing the right colors. 😂 Just another day in geopolitics, where ‘unacceptable’ seems to be the new black! Looks like Lavrov thinks European troops are more unwelcome than a rainy day in London. 🥴 Guess he’d prefer a nice tea party instead of foreign intervention! 🍵 Looks like Lavrov’s got a PhD in being offended. I mean, who knew European troops were such a delicate subject? 🤷♂️ European troops in Ukraine? Oh, come on, Sergei, why not just send in a marching band while we’re at it? 🎺🇪🇺 Seems like Lavrov’s got a real flair for drama, doesn’t he? Maybe he thinks European soldiers are like those pesky tourists who just won’t leave a good café alone. 🍷🤷♂️ Looks like Lavrov’s got a real knack for diplomacy—who knew saying “no” could be an art form? 😏 It’s almost as if he thinks European troops in Ukraine are like pineapple on pizza: completely unacceptable! 🍕 Looks like Lavrov’s got a PhD in “Not in My Backyard” diplomacy. Maybe he thinks a “no entry” sign will keep the European troops out—good luck with that, Sergei! 😂✌️ Typical Lavrov, always with the melodrama. I suppose next he’ll say the mere thought of European troops is scarier than a dark alley in Paris at midnight. 😂 In 2024, researchers at the Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) in Slovenia recognized the benefits of gender-balanced research. A school in Madrid now operates with solar panels on its roof, thanks to investments from local residents. Contributions started as low as €20, and together they amassed nearly €150,000.
