“Why would Putin break a ceasefire and attack peace keeping forces?”
Because the “peacekeepers” are a ruse. They want them there to provide a NATO skirt Ukes can hide behind and then conduct “deniable” operations.
The EUs and Brits will embed in Uke positions, set up SAM sites, and operate no-fly patrols etc.
When...not if, but WHEN the Uke SBU types inevitably start post ceasefire bombings, terrorist attacks, assassinations, and infrastructure sabotage like blowing up pipelines, trains and the Kerch Bridge... the Russians will want to retaliate. When they hit Uke positions in retaliation, EU “peacekeepers” will be in those positions.
That is also why there will be no ceasefire outside a comprehensive peace plan. The Russians know the minute the DC/London Axis gets the “frozen conflict” they have wanted for about 16 months... they lose all leverage in negotiations.
There would be no lifting of all sanctions, no repair of Nordstream, no return of the hundred of billions in confiscated Russian currency and gold, etc.
I meant in real life, why do the Putin backers think Putin would break a ceasefire and attack peacekeeper forces?
