Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had harsh words for British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emanuel Macron on Sunday.
Medvedev lashed out at the European leaders for pushing to send NATO member soldiers to Ukraine as peacekeepers between Russia and Ukraine.
Medvedev posted his comments on X.
Dimitry Medvedev: Macron and Starmer are playing dumb. Time and again they are told that peacekeepers must be from non-NATO states. No, we will send tens of thousands – just lay it out – you want to give military aid to the neo-Nazis in Kiev. That means war with NATO. Consult with Trump, scumbags.

According to Grok AI:
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have been leading efforts to create a “coalition of the willing” to bolster Ukraine’s security. Starmer has expressed readiness to deploy British troops as part of a “reassurance force” to protect Ukraine post-conflict, emphasizing that such a move would require a U.S. “backstop” (e.g., air power or security guarantees). For instance, on February 19, 2025, reports indicated plans for a force of less than 30,000 troops focused on air and maritime defense, not frontline combat. Similarly, Macron has outlined a blueprint where France, the UK, and other nations might each deploy “a few thousand troops” to key locations in Ukraine to demonstrate long-term support, as noted in his comments to French media on March 15, 2025. He clarified that this would not involve a “mass” deployment and would follow a ceasefire.
These statements and plans emerged amid concerns over wavering U.S. support under President Donald Trump, who has pushed for a peace deal and opposed American troop involvement. European leaders, particularly from the UK and France, have framed their troop deployment ideas as part of a peace plan to present to the U.S., with Starmer announcing on March 2, 2025, that Britain, France, and Ukraine were working on a ceasefire proposal. Macron has also suggested a partial one-month truce as a test of Russia’s intentions, with troops potentially deployed in a later phase if a broader agreement is reached.
Russia does not want British, French, or NATO troops into Ukraine as peacekeepers. This would be a dangerous move that could quickly escalate the situation if NATO troops were attacked on the ground. Russia understands this.
