Military chiefs to thrash out Ukraine peacekeeping proposal amid Russia war

Al Jazeera  

Military personnel from more than 30 countries convening in the United Kingdom this week plan to thrash out the scope and scale of a ceasefire enforcement mission to Ukraine, military sources have told Al Jazeera. A Ukraine peacekeeping implementation force would require many “tens of thousands” of troops, military analysts told Al Jazeera, if it is to sit between Ukraine’s standing army, about a million-strong, and Russia’s invading armies, now believed to number about 650,000, backed by a government in Moscow hostile to the idea of multinational peacekeepers. “We’re going to have Europe do that.” That onerous burden seems well beyond the requirements of the so-called “Ceasefire Toolkit” drafted in secret by US, Russian and Ukrainian military experts and published this month. “I can’t see any circumstances under which a European country would put forces in Ukraine while there’s still a war going on,” said the source. “When I see these European officials throwing around figures, that they’re going to invest in this and they’re going to do this and this and this, it’s all hollow… they haven’t delivered to this day,” said Demetries Andrew Grimes, a decorated US special forces commander who fought in the second Gulf War.
