-It doesn’t sound like a credible alternative this day, comments the director of the Alexander Institute Markku Kangaspuro French president Emmanuel Macron a proposal for partial ceasefire.
At the end of the London Summit, Macron proposed a four -week partial weapon rendering in Ukraine, which would only apply to air and sea battles. According to Macron, monitoring compliance with the ceasefire of land operations would be challenging due to the length of the front line.
Britain has denied that the ceasefire presented by Macron would be part of the peace plan presented to the United States.
Leaders who gathered at the London Summit on Sunday agreed that Britain and France take a lead in European security.
-Why would Russia restrict military action in the air and at sea if war continued on land, Kangaspuro wonders in A-studio.
Member of the Coalition Party, Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and Former Commander of the Defense Forces Jarmo Lindberg It points out that the actual maritime warfare in Ukraine is not even visited. With regard to aerial warfare, Lindberg, on the other hand, wonders why Russia would give up exactly what has worked well in the war.
– Russia has used long -range cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and airplanes and has succeeded in destroying nearly 80 % of Ukraine’s energy production infrastructure. When it has worked well, why would they stop it, Lindberg wonders.
According to Kangaspuro, European speeches generally have a big problem.
– There should be so much power behind that in Russia the motivation is to go to the negotiations. So far, the United States is the only country to negotiate with Russia. Europeans do not even have a conversation with Russia. There should be some contact.
Of peacekeepers loose throws
Lindberg is frustrated by today’s speech about peacekeepers.
– It is quite loose to throw that now peacekeepers are being sent from the British and talking to come to it.
Lindberg interprets that there is an old -fashioned understanding of the UN peacekeeping.
– It seems that there is the idea that the border is going between the parties and then there are the blue -helmet soldiers. But there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers going to a full -time war. If 20,000-30,000 peacekeepers were to be taken there, they would grind out there. Hopefully no one imagines something like that, Lindberg says.
Lindberg criticized the idea that the solution to everything would be found in the Infantry Battalion. If Finland wants to be involved, according to Lindberg, it can offer Ukraine something else.
“This is not a summer trip where it is important to just be involved,” Lindberg shakes.
