Europe Wants Peace, Not a Truce for the Next Invasion

The article refers to the European approach to peace in Ukraine, which is more comprehensive than the American-Russian discussions. According to a leaked document, the EU demands not only the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine, but also from Georgia, Armenia, Transnistria, and the removal of nuclear weapons from Belarus. In addition, it demands reparations and international elections in Russia. The author criticizes those who support a “superficial” peace, that is, a simple ceasefire, and emphasizes that peace must be based on a security architecture and the demilitarization of aggression. He points out that Europe must adhere to its principles and not let others decide its security. For Cyprus, the article is a reminder that the “normalization” of occupation, wherever it happens, may lead to similar impasses in the future. The author warns that those who present Russian troops in foreign countries as a “peacekeeping presence” may find similar arguments for our own impasses with the Turkish occupying forces. Overall, the article highlights the need for a strong and decisive European stance against Russia, with the aim of restoring peace and security in the region.
