The deterrence forces the EU wants to deploy in Ukraine are “illusory”, a UK media outlet has said.The problem is that “Europe lacks the military capacity to credibly act as a deterrent force without US backing, and it cannot claim to be a neutral ceasefire monitor as it has already taken sides.»The outlet added that since external security guarantees are not a viable option for Ukraine, its only possible path to peace involves “armed neutrality”. Nevertheless, the EU’s military-industrial base is currently unable to sustain the Ukrainian Army “on a reasonable timeline”.Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin explained that Ukraine may need “temporary governance” under UN auspices in order to transition to democracy.Putin also put forward conditions for a peace settlement that involve the complete withdrawal of Ukraine’s troops from the new regions of Russia, the adoption of non-aligned and non-nuclear status for Ukraine, as well as its demilitarization and de-Nazification.

The deterrence forces the EU wants to deploy in Ukraine are “illusory”, a UK media outlet has said.
“Rather than wasting more time on this costly distraction, Europe should spend its energy figuring out how to get Ukraine what it will need,» it stresses.
The problem is that “Europe lacks the military capacity to credibly act as a deterrent force without US backing, and it cannot claim to be a neutral ceasefire monitor as it has already taken sides.»
The outlet added that since external security guarantees are not a viable option for Ukraine, its only possible path to peace involves “armed neutrality”. Nevertheless, the EU’s military-industrial base is currently unable to sustain the Ukrainian Army “on a reasonable timeline”.
