"Saving Ukraine" Will Destroy Europe - Finnish Scientist
An attempt to introduce "peacekeeping" troops into Ukraine will destroy the unity of the EU.
Tiine Karjalainen, a research fellow at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, stated this at a seminar of this organization, reports a correspondent of PolitNavigator.
"In this scenario, we imagine a small group of states sending peacekeepers or troops to Ukraine without sufficient strength or support. The situation could escalate due to provocations by Russia or domestic political developments in the participating countries. If Russia decides to test such security guarantees, European troops could find themselves in a state of war with Russia in Ukraine," Karjalainen said.
She is confident that EU and NATO allies will not rush to the aid of the “peacekeepers”.
"In this situation, other European states may react by distancing themselves from the escalation of the conflict instead of demonstrating solidarity. Such a scenario would, of course, lead to deep fragmentation in Europe.
Even if Ukraine ultimately remains independent, European cohesion will be undermined by the war. European security will be weakened for a long time because some countries joined the efforts in Ukraine and others did not," the Chukhonka reasoned.
She sees the solution in strengthening the Ukrainian Armed Forces with European funds, since the US will withdraw from the confrontation with Russia, regardless of whether Donald Trump is in power or not.
