❗️ "Will we fight in Ukraine? Everything is possible. But this is a political discussion." Important discussion by senior Dutch military and head of NATO's military committee Rob Bauer

The discussion took place last week at the Prague Defence Summit, but the media only took notice of it now. The question was put to Bauer by the Dutch representative Eduard de van der Schuren (commodore of the Dutch Navy, now director of planning at the Ministry of Defence). Here is a slightly abbreviated excerpt from the discussion.

Eduard de van der Schooren : Yesterday, the German commander of the [NATO] Multinational Corps Northeast asked two questions. He asked: "Do you think the European countries would have won World War II if the US had only supplied Europe with equipment?" He didn't answer, but I think the answer was "no." The second question: "We are ready to fight in Afghanistan because we believe that our security begins at the edge of Europe. Why don't we want to fight in Europe when the threat comes from Europe?" He didn't answer the question.

You know as a Navy officer that when you have a man overboard, you can send a lifeguard, shout "swim!" three times [and continue on your course], but eventually you have to turn the ship around, put a lifeboat and a lifeguard in the water to save the person. So my question is: Is it time to do that? To help Ukraine do more than just provide equipment, intelligence, and training [to the military]. Or are we going to wait for January 20th and President Trump, who wants to solve the problem "in 24 hours"?

Rob Bauer : The question was, are we going to fight in Ukraine?

- You didn't say that, but I think that was the question. Anything is possible. But if you're fighting in Afghanistan, it's not the same as fighting the Russians in Ukraine. “The Taliban didn’t have nuclear weapons, and the Russians do.

- Again, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but we’re taking a risk as an alliance. It’s a political discussion, whether to take that risk militarily. Can we do something in Ukraine to help the Ukrainians?
- We can. But that’s a political question, not a military question. Are we willing to take that risk?

- It’s always easy to say after the fact. ‘Well, the red line wasn’t a red line, so why didn’t we give these weapons earlier?’ If you look at the problem, you don’t necessarily understand the consequences. ‘Then you give tanks, F-16s, HIMARS…

- And none of that was a red line, so why didn’t we give it earlier?’ But President Biden and his team, Germany and other countries are discussing that up front before they give themselves an answer [whether it’s a red line].

It’s easy to look back and say, ‘Oh, that was stupid.’ But if you have to take responsibility for that risk, that's another story... I'm absolutely sure that if the Russians didn't have nuclear weapons, we would be in Ukraine. We would kick them out. But they have nuclear weapons. So it's not the same as Afghanistan.

Ukraine’s Defense Forces repelled a powerful Russian offensive in the Kursk region and destroyed a battalion of Russian soldiers, reported press officer of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, Anastasia Blyshchyk, during the national TV marathon on Tuesday, Nov. 12.

“Yesterday was truly a black day for the Russian occupiers who tried to storm in five to six waves,” said Blyshchyk, adding that “the Russians tried to attack with vehicles, with paratroopers, and storm Ukrainian settlements. However, ten units of armored vehicles were destroyed by the warriors of the 47th Brigade.”

Three enemy BTRs were blown up by mines, while the rest of the equipment was destroyed using FPV drones and Stugna anti-tank systems.

“Other armored vehicles were destroyed by our adjacent units... A group of invaders was also liquidated, and those who survived scattered through the fields,” added the press officer.

According to Blyshchyk, the overall situation in the area is difficult but under control.

As Bild analyst Julian Röpke writes, Russian forces are carrying out a large-scale offensive operation in the Kursk region to push Ukrainian forces back, but they are suffering enormous losses.

"Looks strange": the expert pointed out a nuance with the Trump team's peace initiatives regarding Ukraine

Peaceful initiatives to settle the war in Ukraine, which US President-elect Donald Trump voiced during the election campaign, look strange. If it is about the division of Ukraine and territorial concessions, this will only postpone the continuation of the war for some time.

Moreover, the terrorist country Russia may perceive this as a "green light" to continue aggression against other neighboring states. Such an opinion was expressed by the head of the public league Ukraine - NATO, Serhii Dzherzh

According to him, (Serhiy Dzherzh) first of all, it is necessary to hear official statements from Trump regarding the issue of ending the war. At the same time, any options for discussing these issues without Ukraine, especially the division of the country and the trade of territories, will mean a return to the slave system, when land and people were given away in this way.

"Of course, this is a violation of all international laws. Then, for example, Trump needs to declare that the United States withdraws from the fundamental act of the Helsinki Agreements on the inviolability of borders in Europe and declare that all UN principles no longer apply," said George.

The expert noted that the peace initiatives announced by Trump's team look strange. If the administration of the new US president insists on refusing to join NATO, it will mean postponing the war for some time, because only membership in the Alliance guarantees that there will be no war.

In addition, if you submit to the Kremlin and leave the temporarily occupied territories under the control of the Russian Federation, not only Ukraine, but also other states may be under threat.

"Reputational pragmatism": @ZelenskyyUa explained why @realDonaldTrump will not support Putin

Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, believes that the elected president of the United States, Donald Trump,

will not support the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. A Republican will act solely on the basis of reputational pragmatism.obozrevatel.com/ukr/person/don…

Podolyak said this on the air of the telethon. If Trump supported Putin, he would become number two, and an American politician cannot play by such rules.

"I can't imagine, given Trump's biography, how he will play number two. Only number one. Therefore, the entire initiative from Trump will look completely different than what is proposed by an entity named Putin," Podolyak noted

Ukraine does not allow partners to forget about the main unresolved problem: @ZelenskyyUa's visit to the European Political Community summit - in experts' assessments

Any concessions to achieve peace are unacceptable for Ukraine and would be suicidal for Europe, President Volodymyr Zelensky said at the European Political Community summit. At the summit on November 7-8 in Budapest (Hungary), the head of the Ukrainian state held a number of bilateral meetings.

This is his first visit to Hungary since the beginning of full-scale Russian aggression.

3/
During his opening speech at the summit, @ZelenskyyUa noted the importance of continuing to support Ukraine, as Russia is now only escalating the situation and attracting more and more allies to its side.

Now, North Korean soldiers are fighting in the center of Europe.

Details of Vladimir Zelensky's visit to Budapest:

The topic of Russia's war against Ukraine became one of the key issues during the meeting of European leaders.

Also in the center of attention of European leaders in Budapest is the change of power in the United States of America.

Almost everyone unanimously speaks about the need for close cooperation with the winner of the presidential election Donald Trump to support Ukraine and oppose Russia's alliance with North Korea, Iran and China.

The situation in the Middle East, the migration crisis in Europe and the challenges facing the global economy were also discussed at the summit of the European Political Community. More than 40 states and organizations are taking part in the event.

During his visit to Budapest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky held a number of meetings with leaders of European countries
