The State Duma threatened with consequences due to the appearance of foreign troops in Ukraine

Russia will not allow the presence of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine. Andrei Kolesnik, a member of the State Duma's defense committee, said this on Tuesday, February 3.

"I have no doubt that they (the United States) believe that they can somehow push this through, but this is beyond Russia's red lines," he said in an interview with Lenta.Ru .

Kolesnik noted that Russia would not allow the presence of foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine after the victory, after the peace agreement, because this would minimize the country's victory.

"We've been through this before. Do you remember the division of Germany? In the end, it led to the fact that some short-sighted politicians in the Soviet Union surrendered the GDR and Germany united," said the deputy.

He stressed that there should be no foreign troops on the territory of Ukraine, as this could lead to a continuation of the conflict, a severe escalation and a third world war.

"Our victory is our victory, and the winners dictate the conditions, and the losers accept these conditions and fulfill them. There are no other options," he concluded.
