Keir Starmer’s peacekeeping plan for Ukraine won’t work
A decades-long failure to take Vladimir Putin’s warnings at face value has proven dangerously counterproductive.
Someone should explain to Kid Starver that losers of wars don't decide on the terms.
clearly too complicated a concept for him to parse
With some historical irony included, what "peace" Kiev Sturmer would most likely want for Ukraine is the same one that Calgacus mentioned.
Independently of one thinks of the invasion (yes invasion!) of Russia in Ukraine, any potential "peacekeeping" force should not only behave in an exemplary manner but also avoid any appearance of bias, in order to maintain the highest standards of integrity and reputation. Keir Starmer's army, let alone Macron's, sorry to say, I think does not fit that... UN or from non belligerent parties is the only option.

I don’t know why you’d think that this is a point of contention, when literally no one contends against it being an invasion.
Oh... there are! I oppose the invasion 100%, like oppose US trying to invade Cuba with the same claims. Now, I accept as an argument that when you have been invaded three times through Ukraine by western powers and each resulted with millions of deaths... you may have a cause to ask for neutrality from Ukraine. Very unfair for the sovereignty of Ukraine, but I understandable from Moscow. Ukraine should have been more pragmatic. Mexico's current leader detests the US leadership, but instead of asking from Russian or Chinese assistance, it tries to keep a neutral yet clear stance tone. Acting like Cuba or Ukraine is just asking for trouble. Finland learned that in the 50s too, the best way to deal with a country that stole 1/3 of your country was to be neutral and it flourished in that premise... to now becoming NATO... good luck flourishing from now on!!! Singapore and Switzerland also learned the benefits of genuinely assuring neutrality to the powerful neighbors.
