EU countries are about to seriously consider sending so-called peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orabn has said.
“We are close to the fact that in the conversations of European leaders, the question of whether EU member states can send peacekeeping troops in any form has become legitimate and accepted,” said Rossiyskaya Gazeta quoting Orban during appearances on local radio.
According to him, former European politicians considered this a line not to be crossed in the question of the Ukrainian crisis. However, the situation has changed and EU countries are ready to raise this issue.
Orban also recalled that a year earlier, EU countries were already approaching a risky decision when they considered sending lethal weapons to Kiev, but Hungary opposed it and refused. oppose it.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on Viktor Orban’s statements, called for special attention to be paid to these remarks. And if Orban was referring to real “negotiations” about sending “peacekeeping-type” troops, then that is “of course a potentially extremely dangerous discussion”.
According to military observer Yuriy Podolyaka, this is how the European Union is preparing to negotiate with Russia after a decisive battle. For peacekeepers to enter Ukrainian territory, they must have the consent of all parties.
“NATO understands that the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ counter-offensive may be a failure, so it is starting to protect itself,” Podolyaka wrote on his Telegram channel.
If, according to the expert, the armed forces of Ukraine withdraw the forces accumulated in Bakhmut, the Russian army will advance faster and the Ukrainian defense will begin to crumble. Then Poland will enter the business, which is just waiting for the opportunity to get the western parts of Ukraine and restore the state borders of 1939.
