We continue to provide you with the latest news from the UKRAINE-RUSSIA War, live updates, what is happening on the front, Ukraine and Russia’s losses, Putin and Zelensky’s statements, the latest information from Kiev and Moscow, and even the Kremlin.
At the same time, we report the breaking news of Europe (UK, Germany, France, Poland, Turkey), the Baltic States and Nato, their aid to Ukraine and their moves against Russia.
In addition, we examine the moves of the US and Trump, and examine their relations with China, Canada, North Korea, and Japan.
CHAPTER 1: PEACE TALKS AND CERTAINTY PLANS
French President Emmanuel Macron will hold a leaders’ meeting in Paris on March 27, following the military chiefs’ meeting in London, to discuss issues that will shape a possible Ukraine ceasefire and what comes after. Macron said they will work on short-term support for the Ukrainian army, a sustainable defense model, and security guarantees from European armies if peace is achieved. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also co-chairing the effort, trying to implement the idea of a coalition of the willing.
CHAPTER 2: COALITION OF THE WILLING AND INTERNATIONAL PEACEFORCE
With about 30 senior officers gathering in London, plans to send a peacekeeping force to Ukraine have advanced to the “operational” stage. The coalition of the willing, led by Starmer and Macron, is discussing how to establish a military presence that would prevent a ceasefire violation. While a “blue helmet” force is envisaged under the umbrella of the United Nations (UN) with the contribution of countries such as India, Brazil, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, a second force consisting of European states aims to monitor Ukraine’s western borders. This dual mission can be activated if Russia also approves. Some European countries such as the Czech Republic have also expressed their readiness to send troops to the peacekeeping force.
CHAPTER 3: DEFENSE STRATEGY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
The dominant role of the US in the Russia-Ukraine peace talks has led the European Union (EU) to strengthen its own defense capabilities and support for Ukraine. The EU Commission is preparing to allocate new funds to develop the Ukrainian defense industry, accelerate joint production of weapons and ammunition, and facilitate the procurement of air defense and unmanned aerial vehicles. Plans to provide millions of artillery shells each year, train tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers and support Ukraine’s participation in space programs are also on the agenda. The EU is encouraging joint procurement and production of critical technologies such as air defense systems, long-range missiles and drones.
CHAPTER 4: RUSSIA’S DEMANDS AND GEOPOLITICAL TENSIONS
Russian President Vladimir Putin argues that a possible ceasefire will only be possible if the West stops military and intelligence aid to Ukraine. Putin announced that he would only agree to stop attacks on Ukraine’s electrical infrastructure for 30 days, on the condition that the Ukrainian army will not be rearmed and that forced mobilization will end. This situation shows that Russia still does not want to compromise on its strong position in the conflict. At the same time, states on NATO’s eastern flank, such as the Baltic countries and Poland, are strengthening their borders and taking steps in terms of mine laying, fortification and defense cooperation, out of concern that Russia’s future target could be the Baltics.
CHAPTER 5: BALTIC CONCERNS, NATO’S ROLE AND FUTURE SCENARIOS US
President Donald Trump’s hint that he will no longer be responsible for European security as much as before has caused concern in the Baltic states. Countries bordering Russia, such as Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, are questioning the absolute guarantee of the NATO umbrella, while the EU is trying to strengthen its defense capabilities under the name of the “hedgehog strategy.” It is being assessed that Russia’s partial success in Ukraine has created the possibility that Putin could turn to the Baltic countries. Miscalculations or “gray zone” operations could create a risk of conflict. For this reason, NATO and European countries are conducting military patrols and intelligence work to increase deterrence. Experts emphasize that although the war seems to be ending, long-term stability in Europe has not yet been achieved and Russia has not stepped back from its strategic goals.
