                                                     Displaced people walk outside a school-turned-shelter, in Beirut Tens of thousands of Lebanese civilians have been forced into shelters after what officials described as “unprecedented” evacuation warnings issued by the Israeli military. Local authorities estimate that around 100,000 people have fled their homes in southern Lebanon within a short period, seeking safety in schools, public buildings, and makeshift community centers.

Putin Warns of Direct Strikes on Western Troops in Ukraine

 

                                            Russian President Vladimir Putin


Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stark warning to Kyiv’s allies, declaring that any Western troops deployed to Ukraine during the ongoing conflict would be considered “legitimate targets” for Russian forces. Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Putin’s remarks came just a day after French President Emmanuel Macron announced that 26 nations had pledged postwar security guarantees to Ukraine — potentially including an international force on land, sea, and in the air.

Putin argued that the presence of foreign troops would undermine prospects for long-term peace, reiterating Moscow’s longstanding opposition to Ukraine’s NATO membership and closer military ties with the West. He stressed that security guarantees must apply to both Russia and Ukraine, but claimed no serious discussions on such arrangements had taken place with Moscow.

The comments underscore the deep divide between Russia and Western nations over Ukraine’s future security framework. While France and Britain have signaled openness to deploying forces after the war, the United States has ruled out sending ground troops, instead offering potential air support.

Putin also dismissed the likelihood of productive talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, though he repeated an offer to host negotiations in Moscow — a proposal Kyiv has not embraced.
