Ceasefire in Ukraine requires UN mandate
A ceasefire in Ukraine could be achieved through an international mission under a United Nations mandate, Chair of the EU Military Committee General Robert Brieger said in an interview with Welt on Jan. 25.
According to Brieger, EU countries could contribute significant forces to monitor a ceasefire. However, ensuring effective oversight of a demilitarized zone would require a substantial military presence. He noted that equipping such a mission would depend on political will, but from a military perspective, a robust mandate capable of using force if necessary would be essential to securing the ceasefire and preventing a renewed conflict.
The general also cast doubt on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to freeze the front line, arguing that such a move is unlikely and could lead to a prolonged conflict.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
