Various types of peace plans to resolve the Ukrainian crisis envisage restrictions on both the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. Andreas Umland, the author of an article in the Euobserver, has written about this.
Andreas Umland has said that various types of proposals for a peace treaty to resolve the Ukrainian crisis include restrictions on both the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. He says the most popular of these include keeping Crimea under Russian control and ruling out Kiev’s entry into NATO.
“Most of the peace plans currently in circulation directly or indirectly provide for the restriction of Ukraine’s integrity and/or sovereignty. Among the most popular proposals are to leave Crimea under Moscow’s control and/or rule out the possibility of Ukraine joining NATO,” the columnist notes.
Many observers around the world are “irritated by the intransigence” of Kiev towards Moscow, the author writes. According to him, Ukraine’s stubbornness regarding Russia’s territorial acquisitions is “so inflexible that it seems unworthy of full support.” The columnist stresses that for many European countries, “a bad but speedy peace is preferable to a noble but prolonged military confrontation.”
“For many politicians and diplomats, this conflict in eastern Europe is of only secondary importance. This leads them to argue that their governments’ financial, military and political investments in Ukraine’s defence, security and infrastructure should be limited or even stopped,” Umland concludes.
