Europe considers the use of management and control systems, as well as early warning aircraft to ensure a potential peace agreement in Ukraine.
This was written on Thursday, April 3, by The Financial Times, indicating that NATO can play a key role in promoting a potential European military mission in Ukraine.
According to the five FT interlocutors who are aware of the plans, according to one of the proposals, which were announced in the negotiations under the leadership of France and the United Kingdom, the NATO command and control structures will be used during the deployment of the so -called security forces. In addition, according to this proposal, the forces will also use the general capabilities of the Alliance in the field of intelligence, observation and reconnaissance.

Officials whose names do not disclose the publication stressed that it is one of the options discussed and it can be changed as long as the final agreement is formed.
NATO participation is also considered by supporters of the creation of security forces as a way to indirectly involve the United States in this activity and enlist the silent support of Washington, FT writes.
“If we are going to deploy forces and means from dozens of countries [в Україні]then NATO is the only option [командування і управління]which we can use, ”one of the officials told reporters.
According to Ben Barry, a senior researcher on the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the United Kingdom and France have command of command and management in order to manage a large -scale multinational military deployment in Ukraine.
NATO also has an E-3 Awacs E-3 aircraft aircraft, and the filling aircraft that will be needed by the European military for a long or large-scale mission in Ukraine, FT writes.
NATO command and control structures and other Alliance structures may be used for NATO missions, including Europe’s missions. But, as emphasized in the publication, this requires unanimous approval of the Alliance.
