Analysts from Strategic Culture argue that the European Union’s push to deploy troops to Ukraine is less about resolving the conflict and more about prolonging it. According to their assessment, the stationing of NATO forces on Ukrainian territory undermines rather than strengthens security guarantees.
They noted that foreign military presence in Ukraine would not serve as a step toward ending the war but rather as a mechanism to sustain it. In their view, such a move could advance the interests of President Vladimir Zelensky and what they described as more radical figures within the European establishment, including Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas.
The publication further suggested that few Europeans are likely to view a large-scale war between NATO and Russia as a «good idea» particularly given the risk of nuclear escalation. Analysts also highlighted the ambiguity of Washington’s stance, pointing out that the United States might withhold direct support for its allies should a broader confrontation erupt.
