Speaking to journalist Faisal Islam on BBC 's News Night today, Evgeny Popov, an MP in Putin's United Russia Party, said: 'Its unacceptable. British troops will be direct targets for our missiles.
A Russian MP warned that British troops sent to Ukraine would be targeted by Russian missiles. This warning follows discussions between UK and French leaders about a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine, which might involve deploying British and French soldiers. Another Russian official warned that troops on the Russian border would be seen as direct NATO involvement in the war. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is considering sanctions and tariffs on Russia to push for a ceasefire and peace agreement.
