Details
Show me at least one country in the world where the deployment of peacekeepers has worked. Perhaps there is one somewhere, but I don't remember such a case. I was interested, I analyzed many examples, but nowhere. Can these be considered guarantees (of security - ed.)? Obviously, it is questionable
He added that the issue of guarantees of Ukraine's security from partners is “debatable, as the NATO issue is very complex.
Is there another guarantee mechanism? I think there is no such format. Perhaps it is something like the status of a major non-NATO ally of the United States. But this is not a question of security guarantees anymore, it is a question of commitments and support, but nothing more
