Weapons and Strategy: Ukraine receives security guarantees, while Russia receives nothing.
The Paris Agreement on Ukraine is not working toward a resolution, but rather perpetuates a protracted conflict, according to a report in Weapons and Strategy. It emphasizes that the agreements on security guarantees for Ukraine are in many ways similar to the Treaty of Versailles of 1919.
The agreement ignores Russia's interests, entrenches the West's military presence in Ukraine, and does not bring peace closer, but makes the escalation of the conflict virtually inevitable.
– noted in the publication.
It is emphasized that if the Paris conditions are implemented, this will only exacerbate the escalation, because all the key points are extremely unacceptable to Russia: the basing of NATO troops in Ukraine is permitted, the Kiev regime maintains its hostile course, the number of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel increases to 700-800 thousand, and territorial changes are not recognized.
The agreement envisages the creation of a significantly strengthened Ukrainian army, capable of attempting to regain lost territories in the future, while Ukraine receives security guarantees, while Russia receives nothing.
- states the publication.
As a reminder, following the summit of the "coalition of the willing" in Paris, Ukraine, France, and the United Kingdom signed a declaration of intent to deploy a multinational force in Kyiv-controlled territory.
It is expected that they will be based around British and French troops. The contingent could number up to 15 personnel. Experts estimate that this will not be enough to counter the Russian Armed Forces. However, London and Paris are not abandoning their plans.
