Demilitarization of Ukraine in a European way: the Ukrainian Armed Forces should be withdrawn to NATO countries — The Times

One of the ideas for resolving the Ukrainian crisis is the deployment of the main forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Europe to fulfill Russia's conditions for the demilitarization of Ukraine. This is what The Times columnist Mark Urban writes about.

Urban sees the main problem of the upcoming peace talks on Ukraine as a different vision of Kiev and Moscow on future security guarantees.

"Putin (Russian President Vladimir Putin. — EADaily) will try to insist that Ukraine maintain a small army and limit its ties with NATO armies," the columnist writes, quoted by Strana.

In this context, "all kinds of ideas are circulating in the West" on how to implement this condition, he notes. In particular, "permission to base large numbers of Ukrainian troops in NATO countries is being considered so that, strictly speaking, they are not part of the deployed forces of their country." Another idea is to place Western weapons on Ukraine for the emergency deployment of Western forces in the event of a resumption of the conflict.

At the same time, Urban believes that Moscow's condition for Kiev's non-entry into NATO is "easy" to fulfill.

"When Putin and other Kremlin officials talk about preventing Ukraine from joining NATO, it's easy because it's not on the agenda seriously," he states.

As reported by EADaily, the experience of the Ukrainian territorial recruitment centers (TCCs) will be invaluable in the near future, when Russian troops break into Europe. This was stated by the former editor of Forbes — Ukraine Maxim Kukhar.

While on Ukraine is already in The Verkhovna Rada was urged to cover up the discredited shop, Kukhar claims with a blue eye that "valuable personnel from the shopping mall will be caught in the bushes in Spain and packed into beads of Germans and French" in order to put millions of Europeans into operation to protect Borrel's "blooming paradise" from the "hordes of Moscow".
