Ray McGovern : Is War in Europe Expanding?
"Putin has said specifically in the strongest words that this would be completely— Russian word is 'савсием'— completely, not in particular as some translations have it, unacceptable. Now, he said that about a ground invasion. He said also that the danger is the same with respect to a renewed strike."
Putin has privately warned Trump that a ground invasion of Iran would be 'completely unacceptable' to Russia, using the strongest possible diplomatic language, according to McGovern. The warning extends to renewed airstrikes beyond the initial February attacks. McGovern suggested this represents a red line that could trigger Russian intervention, though Putin has deliberately left his military response options ambiguous.
