Putin&#8217;s comments came hours after European leaders repledged their commitment to provide a potential peacekeeping force as part of security guarantees for Ukraine if and when a ceasefire is agreed.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow has repeatedly described the prospect of Western forces deploying to Ukraine, even after the fighting ends, &#8220;unacceptable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If any troops appear there, especially now while fighting is ongoing, we assume that they will be legitimate targets,&#8221; the Russian leader said during a panel discussion at the Eastern Economic Forum in the far eastern Russian city of Vladivostok.<\/p>\n<p>Putin dismissed on Friday the idea that any peacekeeping forces would be required in Ukraine to monitor a final peace deal, saying &#8220;no one should doubt&#8221; that Moscow would comply with a treaty to halt its 3\u00bd-year full-scale invasion of its neighbor. <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/russia-ukraine-putin-invasion-after-denials-now-says-no-occupation-plan\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Putin denied flatly for months<\/a><\/span> any intention of launching his invasion in 2022, despite the Biden administration accusing him of making clear plans for it.<\/p>\n<p>He said Friday that security guarantees would be needed for both Russia and Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/05\/2f1600b3-1ce3-4aad-a22f-ec20a05ad3ef\/thumbnail\/620x455\/5052d6cb37ae452b970df5d7c19d8792\/putin-2233098421.jpg#\" alt=\"Russia's President Putin Attends The Eastern Economic Forum \" height=\"455\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/05\/2f1600b3-1ce3-4aad-a22f-ec20a05ad3ef\/thumbnail\/620x455\/5052d6cb37ae452b970df5d7c19d8792\/putin-2233098421.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/09\/05\/2f1600b3-1ce3-4aad-a22f-ec20a05ad3ef\/thumbnail\/1240x910\/3e8ce1b6ece3fce8d93ef6dd564534e1\/putin-2233098421.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks during the plenary session of the 10th Eastern Economic Forum, Sept. 5 2025, in Vladivostok, Russia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Contributor\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov later said Moscow would need &#8220;legally binding documents&#8221; to outline such agreements. &#8220;Of course, you can&#8217;t just take anybody&#8217;s word for something,&#8221; he told Russian news outlet Argumenty i Fakty.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that thousands of Western troops could potentially be deployed as part of security guarantees with a deal to end the war.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It will definitely not be single digits, but in the thousands. And that is a fact, but it is still a little too early to talk about it,&#8221; Zelenskyy said at a press conference in western Ukraine, with European Council President Antonio Costa, according to the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n<p>Putin and Zelenskyy&#8217;s comments come after French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday that 26 of Ukraine&#8217;s allies had pledged to deploy troops as a &#8220;reassurance force&#8221; for Ukraine when the fighting ends.<\/p>\n<p>Macron spoke after a meeting in Paris of the so-called coalition of the willing, a group of 35 countries that support Ukraine. He said that 26 of the countries had committed to deploying troops to Ukraine \u2014 or to maintaining a presence on land, at sea or in the air \u2014 to help guarantee the country&#8217;s security the day after any ceasefire or peace is achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the participants of the international economic conference the Ambrosetti Forum on Friday, Zelenskyy said it was important that security guarantees &#8220;start working now, during the war, and not only after it ends.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said he could not disclose more details as they were &#8220;sensitive and relate to the military sphere.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Russian troops attacked Ukraine overnight with 157 strike and decoy drones, as well as seven missiles of various types, Ukraine&#8217;s air force reported Friday. Air defenses shot down or jammed 121 of the drones, it said.<\/p>\n<p>One attack damaged multiple residential buildings in Dnipro in central Ukraine, regional administration head Serhii Lysak wrote on social media. The regional administration also said that an unspecified &#8220;facility&#8221; had been set alight in the strike, but did not give further details.<\/p>\n<p>Lysak shared photos of residential buildings with damaged roofs, glass shards lying on the ground and people carrying wooden boards to cover broken windows. &#8220;Private homes were damaged. Windows in apartment buildings were shattered,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in Ukraine&#8217;s Chernihiv region north of Kyiv, Russian drones attacked infrastructure in the Novhorod-Siversk district, leaving at least 15 settlements without electricity, local authorities reported.<\/p>\n<p>Russian troops destroyed 92 Ukrainian drones overnight, meanwhile, Russia&#8217;s Defense Ministry said Friday. Local social media channels in the city of Ryazan, approximately 125 miles southeast of Moscow, reported that the city&#8217;s state-owned Rosneft oil refinery had been targeted. They shared videos that appeared to show a fire against the night sky.<\/p>\n<p>Local Gov. Pavel Malkov said that drone debris had fallen on an &#8220;industrial enterprise&#8221; but did not give further details, instead warning residents not to post images of air defenses on social media.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation
