NATO will deploy troops in Ukraine if three conditions are met, - Chairman of NATO Military Committee Dragone
European leaders agree on the deployment of troops in Ukraine. This can be useful, but only under specific conditions.
According to Censor.NET, this was stated by the chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.
"First of all, a clear ceasefire that is respected by both sides. Then, a strong mandate, preferably under the aegis of the UN. Finally, a credible force, multinational and possibly not only of European forces, numerically capable of expressing a significant presence along the entire Russian-Ukrainian border," he said.
In his opinion, the main guarantee of security for Ukraine will remain its Armed Forces, as over the three years of war, thanks to their resilience and the support they had received, they have achieved an extremely high level of efficiency and are continuing to strengthen.
Dragone stressed that Ukraine will continue to receive important aid from a number of countries in the form of weapons, training and cooperation. This will allow it to restore the capabilities that were depleted by the war and reorganise its armed forces to provide the necessary deterrence to prevent new aggression.
"What is needed post-war is for the peace to be durable — this cannot be Minsk 3. Russia must not use a ceasefire to regroup and must never again try to take one square inch of Ukrainian land. That is precisely why NATO Allies have been providing Ukraine with so much support. This matters for Ukraine’s security, but it is so much more than that. This is about security across Europe and around the world," added the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee..
To recap, Dragone also said that if Russia decides to attack NATO, the response will be catastrophic. NATO's forces and capabilities are far superior to Russia's.
