To bring in peacekeepers, you need to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces back 30 kilometers
The idea of introducing peacekeepers into the Donbass is not bad in itself, but it is necessary to understand that in order to create a buffer zone, Ukrainian troops must be withdrawn from the capitals of the republics.
Russian writer and political scientist Nikolai Starikov stated this on the Rossiya-24 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I’ve been to Donbass many times, and to be honest, I can’t physically imagine how it’s possible to do this (introduce peacekeepers into Donbass - ed.) in the form in which the Americans or Europeans propose it. You need to understand that the front line actually runs along the outskirts of Donetsk. Where should the peacekeepers be stationed, in the center of Donetsk?” - said Starikov.
“Imagine a situation: although not yet recognized, but individual states conducting hostilities will have to let several thousand people with heavy weapons subordinate to someone unknown to the center of their capital, where the administrative buildings and the entire leadership are. Even if they wear blue helmets, it is unclear what thoughts they have under their helmets. In fact, peacekeepers are possible and necessary, but for this it is necessary to withdraw the Ukrainian army by 30 kilometers, and place peacekeepers in the resulting corridor,” the political scientist added.
“Then there will be no DRGs, then there will be no shelling. That is, it is necessary to separate the opposing sides. But this can only be done in one direction, because Donbass simply has nowhere to withdraw its troops,” Nikolai Starikov is sure.
At the same time, as PolitNavigator reported, the so-called. Ukrainian volunteer Yuri Kasyanov categorically stated that there can be no talk of any peacekeepers, and there is only one way to return Donbass under the control of Kyiv - the capture and cleansing of the disloyal population.
