"Not a peacekeeping force"
Almost seems like a softening position.

International 'reassurance' force planned for Ukraine ceasefire
The force would focus on providing Ukraine with air cover to keep its skies safe and a naval presence in the Black Sea to encourage trade.

Partisans - on the job!!
Rare footage of objective control of the use of the high-precision Russian 152-mm ZOF95 Krasnopol-M2 projectile in Ukraine. The location of the shooting is not reported. The projectiles are used by the Russian self-propelled gun 2S19 Msta-S. More information about the 3OF39M Krasnopol-M projectiles is in the link to the video in the comments to the video. Information about the ZOF95 Krasnopol-M2 projectiles is still classified. The ZOF95 Krasnopol-M2 projectiles were also developed for the latest 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV self-propelled guns; they use a laser seeker, which provides high accuracy. In this case, the Russian projectiles were used to strike a Ukrainian fortification unit located in a basement. Strikes at temporary deployment points of the Ukrainian army are also shown. Judging by the destruction at the site of the explosion, the hits were accurate.
Rare and high-quality footage of a Russian Ka-52M helicopter using Vikhr-M guided missiles. The video was filmed on the border of Ukraine with the Belgorod region of Russia, near the village of Maryino. When Ukrainian equipment crossed the border, the Ka-52M helicopter destroyed an M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicle and an unknown model of Ukrainian tank using a Vikhr-M missile. These missiles can also be used by the Mi-28NM helicopter.
Technical information about the Vikhr-M missile
The Vikhr anti-tank missile system was developed in the Soviet Union as an analogue of the American AGM-114 Hellfire ATGM. The serial modified version of the 9K121 Vikhr-M began to be delivered to the troops in 2015, the Vikhr-1 missile is equipped with a tandem charge that penetrates armor up to 1200 mm, at a range of up to 10,400 meters. The main purpose of the Russian Vikhr-M missile is to destroy armored vehicles, including those with active armor, as well as air targets at speeds of up to 800 km / h. The launch altitude of the missiles is up to 4,000 meters. The flight speed of the missile is more than 600 meters per second. Initially, the missiles were intended exclusively for Su-25 aircraft and Ka-52 helicopters, but now work is underway to adapt the Vikhr-M complex to the Mi-28NE and Mi-35P helicopters, as well as the Orion-E UAV.

Japanese have a form of strike, where they carry notes around their neck, but work. Italian one is where they don't do anything extra.
This could be a Russian strike - setting the workplace on fire.

Putin continues the ethnic clensing of occupied regions. He signed a law, to kick out any Ukrainian citizen, who doesn't accept a Russian passport.
Putin evicts Ukrainians who refuse Russian passports from occupied territories
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law that obliges Ukrainian citizens in Russia and its occupied territories to either leave or obtain Russian passports by September of this year.
– Ukrainian citizens residing in the territory of the Russian Federation who do not have legal grounds for residence in the Russian Federation are obliged to leave the Russian Federation on their own initiative or legalize their legal status in the Russian Federation by September 10, 2025, the text of the law states.
The law also applies to the “new regions”, i.e. the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, which Russia has unilaterally annexed. According to the law, non-Russians residing in the regions must also undergo a medical examination, which includes testing for HIV infection and drug use.
Putin had previously claimed in March that almost all residents of the occupied territories had been issued Russian passports. In the spring of 2024, Putin said that more than 3.2 million residents of the occupied regions had been issued Russian passports.

To expound on that... Practically everything this professor predicted, a decade ago, has come to fruition.
Kremlin Accuses Europe of Planning ‘Militarization’ - The Moscow Times
The Kremlin on Thursday accused European countries of prioritizing military buildup over peace efforts, as top Western military officials gathered in Britain to discuss support for Ukraine.

I watched about half and will finish it later. Very prophetic, especially since it's from 10 years old. It goes to show that nothing happens in a vacuum. That line, "you want to wreck Russia, have them try to take Ukraine", certainly rings true.
Also true when he said, why would you let Ukraine join NATO and give them an Article 5 Guarantee when no one is willing to fight for Ukraine?

He is an American "realist" European one has a complete different "realist" outlook.
He views Europe and particular eastern europe as poker chips without their own autonomy to be divided between the US and Russian spheres of influence. Dismissing those nations free will and sovereignty.
He is on par with the idiot Chomsky-.
The fall of the soviet union and the states that emerged who wanted their own independence dismisses the worldview of this professor. He also predicted world of trouble in eastern europe with hungary, romania etc. and did not foresee that European union would cancel these potential conflicts because europe due to european union threw away the ideology of spheres of influence. No wonder these people hate the European union since its clearly goes against their entire world view.
Russia wants to turn Europe into to poker chips and not because Europe is a bunch of poker chips
edit. if eastern europeans had a different skin color, people like chomsky would be considered racist. Arguing for the coloniser and their spheres of influence and how good things were back then. These sickening "westerners" make me wish that Poland would get its own nuclear arsenal sooner than later.

What a clown show. No one not a part of the security team or the delegation should have been able to get anywhere near the vehicle, even if they're in uniform.
