    Maybe a loophole in Russian demands for them to stay out of NATO?

    Or maybe Russia won’t care because they already plan on advancing into Europe.

        Well, listen, if I were a Ukrainian military or political leader and I saw an opportunity to have a well enforced ceasefire and then I could STILL join a large military coalition to prevent any further conflicts, then I would take that deal. The real curiosity here is if Russia respects the capabilities of the EU military or if they are only deterred by NATO.

        I think these are topics worth discussing in depth to reduce loss of human lives now and in the far future as much as possible.

          the EU military

          This isn’t a thing. I mean yes we do have like 60 000 soldiers in some rapid reaction force, but there is no “EU military” to speak of.
