Russia says no to NATO boots in Ukraine as Trump's peace plan hit by Moscow’s shocking red lines

Russia has drawn firm red lines on Ukraine peace talks following high-level negotiations in Berlin, rejecting any compromise on occupied Ukrainian territories and ruling out the presence of European or NATO troops on Ukrainian soil. Moscow has reportedly insisted on retaining control over five Ukrainian regions in exchange for peace, dealing a blow to U.S.-backed efforts, including U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed peace framework.
