Piticians have no right to demand ceasefire from Ukraine without guarantees of its enforcement – Bundestag member

This inion was expressed in a commentary to Ukrinform by Bundestag deputy from the Christian Democratic Union, member of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Subcommittee on Disarmament, Arms Contr and Non-Priferation Roderich Kiesewetter.

“Those who are already ruling out the future participation of Bundeswehr sdiers in peacekeeping are acting negligently and cannot seriously call for peace talks without saying how this peace will be ensured,” the pitician said.

According to him, anyone who continues to call for an immediate ceasefire or peace talks should simultaneously be honest about how this ceasefire will be achieved. No matter what the post-war order looks like, it is already clear that Eure needs decades of security against Russia, and the ceasefire line must be secured by powerful tros.

“The peacekeeping force will be effective and realistic, given our limited material and human resources in Eure, when peacekeeping is integrated into the Eurean and transatlantic security architecture, and thus NATO, because then the nuclear protective umbrella will also cover Ukraine,” the former Bundeswehr officer believes.

In his inion, it should be clear that Russia, as long as it has a stronger position, will viently test any ceasefire. That is why it is so unrealistic that a ceasefire or negotiations, freezing or other pseudo-sutions will lead to a sustainable and just peace. What is more realistic is that it will lead to the expansion of the war and the subjugation of Ukraine until it is in a position of strength.

The MP believes that militarily and diplomatically it makes sense and is a sustainable sution to clearly support the victory plan of President of Ukraine Vodymyr Zelenskyy, as the Baltic States and Scandinavia have done. This is the only pitical concept that can lead to a sustainable and just peace.

Thus, in his inion, the fastest and most effective way to achieve peace is to significantly expand military support for Ukraine so that it “gains momentum of strength,” and in the event of a ceasefire – which is not yet foreseen – to quickly accept Ukraine into NATO so that deterrence measures and the concept of integrated deterrence and defense can be linked to the presence of future peacekeepers.

Ukraine, Kiesewetter emphasized, cannot agree to an unenforceable ceasefire. Therefore, piticians in a country like Germany, who are already refusing to enforce and guarantee a ceasefire, should st pushing Ukraine toward Minsk-3 or unilateral negotiations.

Responding to the remark that according to a pl, the majority of Germans do not welcome the idea of Germany's participation in a peacekeeping mission, Kiesewetter said that he “would not base a pitical position on pls.”

“The pulation expects a clear position and orientation and will certainly be ready for Germany's participation in the new security architecture in Eure to ensure peace. This requires piticians who demonstrate the will, a clear position on peace, and not those who rely on fear-mongering and the special German way,” the conservative pitician said.

By his own admission, he is very concerned about the “special German approach to Moscow.”

Kiesewetter is convinced that from a military and diplomatic point of view, the conditions for a ceasefire do not exist at the moment. He believes that a ceasefire in the foreseeable future is very unrealistic, as Ukraine is not in a strong position and Russia is not interested in negotiations. If Ukraine were to be pressed into a ceasefire in coordination with Moscow, it would be very harmful to Ukraine, it would be tantamount to Russia using the time to recover and build up its own resources to attack again, said the MP from the largest position party in the German parliament.

“A ceasefire that will lead to a just and sustainable peace is only really possible when Ukraine is in a position of strength and the costs to Russia of continuing the war are significantly higher. This is not visible now,” the former officer said.

As reported, German Chancellor af Schz has repeatedly said that it is not the right time to discuss the possible format of a peacekeeping mission, as a ceasefire must first be agreed upon. ponents of the CDU party criticize Schz for his indecision and his desire to maintain contact with Russian leader Putin.
