The Kremlin has issued a stern warning against any potential deployment of NATO troops in Ukraine, deeming it "unacceptable" for Russia. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized Moscow's long-standing opposition to such a scenario when questioned by journalists about the possibility of sending a multinational force.

Peskov also criticized Finnish President Alexander Stubb and British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, labeling them "warmongers" for their perceived support of Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Stubb has advocated for Ukraine's long-range strikes within Russia, arguing that such actions, including targeting logistical centers, increase the war's cost for Moscow and could push Russia toward negotiations. Peskov accused Stubb and other Western leaders of misleading their voters by suggesting a strategic defeat of Russia is achievable.

This proves that Stubb, along with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, belong to the 'warmongers'.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine and the United States are exploring new proposals to end the war with Russia. He indicated that Kyiv sees an opportunity until the end of next summer for U.S. mediation and has drafted a set of proposals, developed with American and European officials, to present to Moscow. These proposals reportedly include a ceasefire and a U.S. suggestion for establishing a free economic zone in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region, to be managed by a third party.

We have repeatedly expressed our opposition to such a scenario.

Zelenskyy specified that the window for ending the war extends from the G20 summit in December to the summer of 2027, before the U.S. presidential election campaign begins in 2028. U.S.-mediated negotiations collapsed earlier this year due to Ukraine's rejection of Russian territorial demands and Washington's focus on the U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East. Previous visits by U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff to Moscow occurred in January, with neither having visited Ukraine.

This is the main point. The second point concerns what the Americans proposed regarding a free economic zone.
