RUSSIA has repeated its position that it will not accept peacekeepers to Ukraine from any country that has supplied weapons to Kiev.

In an interview with the Tass news agency, Kirill Logvinov, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department of International Organisations, said the Europeans “are turning an absolutely deaf ear to warnings that we categorically oppose the very idea of putting boots of those countries which continue to send weapons to Kiev on the ground in Ukraine.”

Mr Loginov described the collective West as “arrogant” in its refusal to listen to Russia’s position and to continue planning for something they have been told is a non-starter.
