Proposal to Deploy Bangladeshi Troops at Ukraine-Russia Border

Darwin, September 8 — As part of a potential peace agreement in the ongoing Ukraine war, a proposal has emerged to establish a buffer zone between Russia and Ukraine.

Under this plan, the United States would oversee monitoring operations, while troops from non-NATO countries such as Bangladesh or Saudi Arabia could be deployed on the ground, according to an anonymous source cited by NBC News.

However, the report did not disclose further details.

Following the NBC report, Russia Today stated on Friday that Washington would use satellites, drones, and intelligence technology to monitor the situation and coordinate with the deployed countries.

Nevertheless, Moscow has repeatedly emphasized that the deployment of Western or NATO forces in Ukraine as part of the peace process would be unacceptable to Russia.

Earlier, Politico had mentioned a similar proposal, although no specific countries were named. It was hinted that French and British troops could constitute a major part of such a force.

A former Pentagon official commented,

“This reflects Kiev’s European allies’ desperate efforts.”

On Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a warning:

“Foreign troops will either become targets of Russian attacks or will be unnecessary if a genuine peace agreement is reached.”

Putin further stated that Western attempts to bring Ukraine into NATO are among the key causes of the conflict. Therefore, any resolution must ensure security guarantees for both Russia and Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has met with representatives from several countries who have pledged weapons and security assurances.

However, most of these countries have publicly ruled out the possibility of deploying their own troops.

On the other hand, Moscow has expressed its intention to create its own buffer zones, especially in the Kursk and Bryansk regions, to protect Russian civilians living near the border.

Putin accused Ukrainian forces of frequently attacking civilian targets such as homes, ambulances, and agricultural equipment, making such protective measures necessary.
