Russia says foreign troops sent to Ukraine will be legitimate targets

What it means
Russia's statement that foreign troops in Ukraine would be 'legitimate targets' is a rhetorical warning that has been a recurring feature of this conflict. It does not represent a new military action, a new actor entering the war, or a genuine escalation beyond prior signals already in the market. Markets have broadly priced in the risk of NATO-Russia friction, and statements of this type have historically failed to produce sustained moves in gold, defense, or equities on their own.
