Only NATO will protect from the new offensive of the Russian Federation: what will be the truce of Ukraine and Russia - Sky News

When asked about the concession of the territories of Ukraine, he answered that Kiev should be in a strong position, there should be a flow of weapons and ammunition supplies before peace negotiations, "if they begin . . . I would talk more about military assistance and less about discussions about the fact What a peaceful process should look like. " According to journalists, in reality, the format of a peace agreement on Ukraine already imagines.

"Practically every diplomat, with whom I said, believes that for Ukraine it will be inevitable to yield to a certain territory that is slowly seeping into a political discourse in Kiev. This is why the comments of Vladimir Zelensky about" Ukraine -controlled Ukraine "have become an important nuance," - the newspaper said. According to the military analyst Michael Clark, the West and the whole world seem to agree that the peace agreement will be concluded in the new year.

There will be no immediate entry into NATO, to which Volodymyr Zelenskyy calls. Although Ukraine is interested in the fifth article of the NATO Statute, according to which Member States will fight with any country that will attack another country. Clark offers a bypass that gives Kiev security guarantees, but without its direct entry into NATO.

"Suppose that British, French, German and other troops, even Polish, would be involved in keeping a line of ceasefire - which would actually become a stretch," the British expert said. He says it will act in the same way as a guarantee of the fifth article - "in everything except the name. " As NATO countries will have to attack Russian troops if the Armed Forces that hold this hypothetical line will be attacked. "The question is, are we bold enough to do so?" - Clark notes.

If there is an obligation on this issue, it is extremely important that NATO countries fulfill its promises to Ukraine, he added. At the same time, he also has no illusions about the Kremlin's war goals. Actually, the agreement will not hold the front line, because after the ceasefire and truce is introduced, the Russians will want more, the expert says.

For long -term peace, for half a year, or 12 months, the active participation of NATO troops will be needed, even if Ukraine is not now in the Alliance. "I can promise you that Putin intends to seize the whole of Ukraine at some point, unless he prevents him from doing this considerable force," he summarized. We will remind that the head of OP Andriy Yermak spoke about the victory of Ukraine.
