Russian Response to Estonia: Designating Them as Legitimate Military Targets
In a recent statement issued by Moscow, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova declared that any foreign mercenaries and weapons sent to Ukraine will be considered as legitimate military targets by Russia. This comes in response to discussions in Western countries, such as NATO member Estonia and France, about potentially sending troops to Ukraine.
Zakharova’s warning follows concerns raised by French President Emmanuel Macron in February regarding Russia’s increased aggression towards Ukraine. Macron emphasized the importance of addressing the issue of sending troops to Ukraine and not turning a blind eye to the escalating conflict.
The tension between Russia and Western countries continues to rise as discussions about foreign military involvement in Ukraine persist. Moscow’s stance on targeting foreign mercenaries and weapons could escalate the already volatile situation in the region. It remains to be seen how these developments will impact the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
