If military contingents of the "Coalition of the Willing" from Europe are deployed in Ukraine, they will become a legitimate target for the Russian armed forces.

Axar.az reports that these words were said by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with TASS on the results of 2025.

"Their ambitions literally blind them: they are not only not interested in Ukrainians, but also do not care about their own population. How else can we explain the talk in Europe about sending military contingents to Ukraine in the format of the "Coalition of the Willing"? We have already stated a hundred times that in such a situation they will become a target for our armed forces," Lavrov noted.
