Russia Warns Western Troops Are Targets as Ukraine Peace Talks Stall

President Trump says Putin is ready to make a deal to end the Ukraine war, but Russia has declared that any Western multinational peacekeeping force deployed after a ceasefire would be treated as legitimate military targets. This escalating standoff between nuclear-armed Russia and a Western coalition mirrors the biblical pattern of nations being drawn into great-power conflict centred around the end-times geopolitical realignment, with Europe's 'coalition of the willing' increasingly resembling the kind of multi-nation alliance described in end-times prophecy. Scripture warns that in the last days there will be 'wars and rumours of wars' and that nations will rise against nations, with no lasting peace until the Prince of Peace returns.
