The article discusses the critical state of military involvement in Ukraine as highlighted by General Lord Richards, who emphasized the necessity for NATO countries to send a considerable number of troops—between 100,000 to 200,000—to ensure a robust peacekeeping force should a deal with Russia be reached. Richards criticized the simplistic notion of deploying minimal peacekeeping forces, advocating instead for thorough preparation to deter Russian provocations. The piece also touches on the importance of accessible journalism and The Independent’s commitment to covering pressing issues, from reproductive rights to climate change.
General Lord Richards warned that European nations would need to send between 100,000 to 200,000 troops to effectively maintain peace in Ukraine, emphasizing the gravity of the military commitment required.
Forcing a few peacekeepers into Ukraine would be irresponsible, as a robust military presence is necessary to genuinely support the country after a potential peace deal with Russia.
