Russia wants 'ironclad' guarantee that Ukraine will be barred from NATO: official

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko reportedly said that the Kremlin wants an 'ironclad' guarantee that Ukraine will be prohibited from joining NATO. Grushko made no mention of the 30-day cease-fire proposal, but reiterated Russia's opposition to the deployment of European troops to Ukraine. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a virtual meeting with 26 nations potentially willing to be involved in a 'peacekeeping force' in Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron stated the intention to deploy a few thousand men per nation to carry out training programs, while Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also expressed willingness to send troops. Grushko argued that a solution to the conflict could only be sustained if Ukraine is barred from NATO membership and foreign military contingents are kept out.
