What includes a peace mission project in Ukraine prepared by experts. What does it contain?

France and Great Britain expressed their readiness to send thousands of their soldiers to Ukraine After the truce came into force, it is not clear what their tasks would be about. Russia Meanwhile, it does not send any signal that she would agree to the presence of such a peace mission, and the president USA Donald Trump He did not assure that America would support these forces – reminds “NYT”.

In this context, “one of the largest surgery to supervise the arms suspension in the history of surgery in history, and has not yet been planned what it would look like” – said Walter Kemp, a European security specialist who prepared a report of a group of experts.

The document was created in cooperation with the Think Tank Geneva Center for Security Policy, with the participation of specialists from various countries who want to remain anonymous.

One of the significant difficulties of monitoring the truce between Russia and Ukraine is the length of the border, which is over 1126 kilometers and is 5 times longer than the demilitarized zone separating South Korea from the north. Another challenge is the technical advancement and range of weapons at the two sides.

However, the report contains some numerical recommendations: the proposed buffer zone should be at least 9.5 kilometers wide and be patrolled by 5,000 policemen and civilian officials, and 10,000 soldiers would watch over the safety of these people. The mission would work under the aegis UN or another similar organization.

The international team monitoring the situation in the buffer zone would cooperate with a commission consisting of Ukrainian and Russian military

“NYT” reserves, however, that it is not clear how the Negotiations of the peaceful ceasefire would have, if at all, given the approach to the negotiations Trump and Putin.

Samuel Haap, a specialist from Russia in Think Tank Rand Corporation, emphasizes that creating a peace mission that guarantees respect for the suspension of weapons will be a difficult problem for an unprecedented problem for which there is no fairly ready pattern.

“However, the question remains whether Putin is interested in a truce at all, and what is just respecting his conditions, and in addition, no peace mission would be able to stop him if he decided to start a new invasion in Ukraine,” says the New York daily.

The expert of the Berlin Center of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs Janis Kluge, dealing with Russia, believes that “it is dangerous to bother with the illusion of a truce.”

“I don't think there is a realistic assumption that Russia will agree to something that will make Ukraine independent and sovereign,” warns Kluge.
