Military chiefs to thrash out Ukraine peacekeeping proposal amid Russia war | Russia-Ukraine war News

Military sources said that military personnel from more than 30 countries located in the United Kingdom this week are planning to rid the scope and group of fire enforcement to Ukraine.
The meeting comes two weeks after the UK Prime Minister Kiir Starmer announced that “Al -Raghiba Alliance“It will work on a peace plan to bring it to US President Donald Trump, who provided Washington’s support for the war that is in doubt.
“They are looking seriously … as required, and what the two countries can contribute.”
The source said: “It should be a maximum approach, so we can see whether the United States can provide any empowerment factors.” This is an opportunity for Europeans to advance. This is very exciting … we can still do it very quickly. “
Enable factors include air, land and maritime transport, long -range fires, drones, and the defense of air missiles, as the United States is still superior to Europe.
Military analysts said that the peacekeeping force in Ukraine requires many “tens of thousands” of forces.
In addition, the United States may only be present in a supportive capacity.
Trump told reporters Last month, Europe expected the initiative to take the initiative to secure Ukraine.
He said on February 26: “I will not make security guarantees beyond many. We will do Europe,” he said on February 26.
It seems that the hard burden exceeds the requirements of the so -called “Stopping the shooting tools“It was secretly formulated by the United States and Russian and Ukrainian military experts and published this month.
He suggested that 5,000 police and 10,000 supportive military personnel would be sufficient to monitor a 5 -km operating area (3 miles) along the entire front. However, this was based on Russia’s approval of the decline in heavy military equipment, the creation of humanitarian corridors and joint military coordination.
Most of the countries volunteered by the volunteer forces are from the European Union, but the countries other than the European Union, such as Norway and Turkey, as well as the countries in Asia and the Pacific, expressed their interest.
The military source said: “If you fail to obtain peace in Europe, and elsewhere in the world, you may have traces, and there may be repercussions in the Pacific Ocean,” explaining the interest of non -Europeans.
One of the ideas seems to be agreed upon – that the ceasefire must come first.
The source said: “I cannot see any circumstances in which a European country puts forces in Ukraine while there is still a continuous war.”
The source said that European injuries can lead to a mutual defense condition in Article 5 of NATO without Russia attacking NATO. “Article 5 is the sacred. This is the only thing that respects Putin. This is the only thing that he will deter from attacking the NATO country. We need to protect it.”
What will the strength do?
“With peace conservation, you think about blue helmets, which is an authorization from the United Nations … the Russians never respect him and they will not have a prayer for success in this case,” said General Ben Hodges, the former commander of the American forces in Europe, adding that the force must have “real deterrent capabilities.”
Regardless of shields, fiery energy and enabling factors, strength must have “the authority to use it immediately”.
He said: “If a Russian drone comes to fly over it, they must be able to drop it immediately, and it is not necessary to contact Brussels or some capital to order permission.” “The Russians will experience all this, of course, all this in the first few hours.”
Contribution countries have not yet agreed on this authority. The military source said: “I do not think there is any consensus yet.”
Russia has made it clear that it is hostile to the idea of a multinational power in Ukraine.
In an interview last month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov described the initiative as a “bold position”, as it was “a continuation of the Kyiv regime in the war with us.”
Power mode is also a major decision.
“If there is a force aimed at being in the separation area between the Russians and the Ukrainians, this may be largely large,” said Hodges, because the connection line is 1000 km (621 miles), and because the forces must be rotated within a long time – perhaps years.
Hodges said the other possibility is to stabilize the strength of the reaction stationed behind the Ukrainians, “Where if Russia does something, these men will be deployed forward to deal with it.”
He said this would be safer for the forces, but “perhaps at first is less effective, because the Russians will test the time it takes to the response.”
Can Europe do that?
The United Kingdom and France are led by efforts to hunt this multinational power together.
It is ancient hands in this, after it led the formation of victorious alliances in two global wars.
Their modern history was incomplete.
The last operations abroad in France to push armed groups from Mali and the coast ended with failure. The last time the UK for the second Gulf War was carried in 2003 and Afghanistan in 2009.
Today, their permanent armies are 140,000 (UK) and 202,000 (France), according to the military balance published by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London.
French President Emmanuel Macron first raised the possibility of the presence of French forces in Ukraine in February last year, but his lieutenant soon woven this in the peacekeeping force, and not a combat force in line with Ukraine.
Starmer announced that the UK was ready to send forces to Ukraine as part of the peacekeeping force before the Paris Summit on February 17.
The European chains of the portfolio were reduced when European leaders agreed earlier this month to maintain an increase in defense spending on books. This may generate 800 billion euros (874 billion dollars) in new defense investments.
Others were not sure that Europe would work.
“When I see these European officials wandering in the numbers, they will invest in this, and they will do this and this, all this is hollow … they have not spared to this day,” said Andrew Graims, commander of the Special Forces of the Special Forces who fought in the second Gulf War.
During three years of the full war in Ukraine, European defense budgets increased by only 30 percent, and European Council Speaker Antonio Costa recently said the European Parliament.
Even more than money, the fear of the deaths of European defense for decades, as Graims believed.
He said, referring to the activities of the basic camp: “We have seen in the Balkans and in Afghanistan, all of this is support at the level of the wire,” referring to the basic camp activities. “This is much different from going out on the front lines.”
The last example was when the UK withdrew from a police plan A. The floating pavement in GazaHe said that the protection of humanitarian displays last summer.
“This investigation will lead to” a few smaller units to enter symbolically, to show that they are present. “
He said: “I do not see the traditional forces that are brought, supplied and supported … for at least six months or more.”
