Ukraine has been and remains at the center of our security thoughts, and we are ready to provide rapid and consistent support."
"an aggressive statement that after a peace agreement is reached in Ukraine, certain troops, weapons, aircraft and naval forces from the so-called Coalition of the Willing will immediately appear there....

"We will consider these troops to be a legitimate military target."
Moscow issued a direct warning that Western forces on Ukrainian soil would be treated as legitimate military targets. NATO stated that a Coalition of the Willing would provide armed forces, aircraft and naval support immediately after a peace deal is signed.

Russian officials called such a foreign military intervention categorically unacceptable and insisted that Western troop presence on Ukrainian territory would threaten Russian security and be met as a legitimate military target.
