UN, OSCE is no longer those. Why Copenhagen and Ramstein meetings are not just about money and weapons

Long -term cooperation in Copenhagen format is a common interest. Northern Europe is interested in being strong and won by the Russian Federation on August 11 in the capital of Denmark - Copenhagen - a defense conference of North European allies in support of Ukraine, which is attended by more than 20 countries, has begun. As part of the meeting, a meeting of the UK's defense ministers - Ben Wallace, Ukraine - Alexei Reznikov and Denmark - Morten Bodskkov was held.

The plan for providing long -term financial and military assistance to Ukraine was discussed. Several general comments from Alexei Kopitko. According to the results of the meeting in Copenhagen, enough news has already been heard: a group of 26 countries agreed on more than $ 1. 55 billion assistance to the distribution of roles between countries in the context of long -term support of Ukraine. 1.

The Ramstein Conference and Donor Conferences (the first was in London at the end of March, in Copenhagen - the second) - testimony that the mechanisms of the UN, NATO and the EU, are mildly speaking . . . vulnerable. In NATO, some small country can block a common solution. And not always the inspiration of such a blockade will be directly the Kremlin. It can be another European country, larger, richer, which is unprofitable, but it is ashamed to say it.

From this point of view, the strong side of Ramstein/Copenhagen meetings is a lack of formal obligations. Gentlemen agreements based on leadership and understanding of common goals. Which then turn into specific projects. That is, it is optional to participate in Ramstin. But if you do not participate, you look very bad. Ramstein is a testament to the US global leadership with the great personal role of the Minister of Defense Lloyd Austin.

In fact, it is a germ of a tool that will determine a new world order. Because the difficult situation of the UN, the OSCE, Amnesty International and other pillars of the dying world is already universally recognized. Donor conferences are evidence of Britain's leadership and subjectivity with the great personal role of Defense Minister Ben Wallace. Let me remind you that the first donor conference took place before the first "Ramstin".

Copenhagen is the development and deepening of the topic with conferences thanks to the leadership of Denmark Minister Morten Bedskov. The presence as one of the Frontman - the Minister of Defense of Britain - emphasizes his role and role of the kingdom. I do not exclude the emergence of other mechanisms that will be tied to the leadership of other countries. For example, the media has already spread information about a Germany conference with a focus on money, that is, recovery programs.

It is likely that France and France wants to say. In general, there is a search for two- and multilateral formats, oriented. Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov at his level and within his area of ​​responsibility has been actively promoting this idea for a long time. The most favorable situation for Ukraine - if different formats can be coordinated. This is a challenge that an attempt to coordinate NATO, Ramstein and the EU military tool. 2.

I was familiar with the potential of the Scandinavian countries in terms of defense. It turned out that everything is very interesting there when you begin to study the question at the level of connections. Each country has its superpowers. The Swedish defense concern SAAB almost does not sound. And in vain. Their close weave is a very non -label military power. At the level of advanced weapons (such as air defense), the Scandinavians are under the American umbrella.

However, from a military-political point of view, they interact very closely with Britain. Remember how the latter quickly gave the security guarantees of Finland until it will be taken to NATO. After all the changes, the Baltic Sea becomes a semi -British lake. This changes the schedule after the dominance of the Russian-German axis, literally built along the gas pipelines. Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway have already joined the British Training Program for Ukraine.

It is like a club to which gentlemen who respect themselves should be included. Poland has a special relationship with Britain. Baltic countries are also quite integrated. They are all combined with interest in making the Baltic Sea of ​​Security. 3. Ramstin's "deepening", concentrated on short and medium-term coordination, at the level of "Copenhagen" is in the future tectonic and philosophical shifts.

Europe is very slow, but it comes to the true awareness of Russia in its current form (a totalitarian Nazi regime) as an existential threat. Also gradually comes the awareness paid by the blood of Ukrainians that time of point agreements passes. Real network integration should be replaced. Where there is a single front - from Svalbard to the Mediterranean through the Black Sea. Scandinavians are no wonder the most prosperous countries of the Earth. They adequately evaluate reality.

And it is as follows: their safety is directly related to the military success of Ukraine. This is very clear. The natural reaction of the Russian Federation to the entry of Finland and Sweden to NATO should be the strengthening of troops of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation and the Western Military District. But under the current conditions, the Kremlin can turn over. In Ukraine, not only the 76th Pskov Airborne Division lay. Our troops thinned the Marines from the Kaliningrad region.

Not to mention the first "elite" tank army and the infrastructure that the Russian Federation unfolded after 2014. The northern fleet of the Russian Federation (right now in the Kharkiv direction to the unfavorable motorizers from Pechenga is thrown over fresh cannon meat from the new land and other northern territories). In general, Ukrainian soldiers undermined not only the offensive but also the defensive potential of the Russian Federation in the northwestern direction.

The natural interest of Northern Europe is that we are strong and end up as many of those who make their nerves. Therefore, long -term cooperation in Copenhagen format is a common interest. The potential is great. How much it will be implemented - we will see. In general, in parallel with the extraction of weapons and the solution of important applied tasks, a critical mass of ties, projections, which organically "draw" Ukraine into the European security space.
