"Another barrage of military drones were fired overnight at Ukraine after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that he would consider any foreign troops deployed in the country to be "legitimate targets." The latest round of regular strikes on Ukraine came in the form of 91 Russian drones, the Ukrainian Air Force said, adding that it consisted of 18 strikes across eight locations in the country. No casualties were reported, but officials said that debris was still being examined."
""If any troops appear there, especially now while fighting is ongoing, we assume that they will be legitimate targets," Putin said during an economic forum in the Pacific port city of Vladivostok on September 5. The warning from Putin is the latest in a series of uncompromising statements from the Russian leader that signals that efforts to jumpstart negotiations for a peace deal around the war in Ukraine, which had new momentum last month following a summit in Alaska between Putin and US President Donald Trump, have stalled."

President Vladimir Putin warned that any foreign troops deployed to Ukraine would be considered legitimate targets, speaking at an economic forum in Vladivostok on September 5.

Putin said he would meet Zelenskyy only in Moscow, and stalled diplomatic momentum followed a recent summit in Alaska.
