UNITED NATIONS, July 27 (HS/European Troops in Ukraine Would Represent Foreign Intervention - Russian Mission to UN

RIA Novosti) - The possible deployment of military contingents by European countries to Ukraine will be seen in Russia as a foreign intervention into the conflict, Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Anna Evstigneeva said on Monday.

Let's look at the results of the 15th meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing held in Paris on July 13 under co-chairmanship of France and the UK ... The content of the outcome document ... directly states that the multinational forces will have to restore the potential of the armed forces of Ukraine, Evstigneeva said during a UN Security Council session on Ukraine. We have gone through this already, and this will not happen. I appeal to the European members of the Coalition of the Willing: the deployment of military contingents of your states on the territory of Ukraine will mean foreign intervention, which poses a direct threat to Russia's security.

The Russian diplomat further noted that the troops deployed to Ukraine would be seen as legitimate targets by Moscow.
