Henri Vanhanen wrote that Russia's frozen assets should be used for the benefit of Ukraine instead of being returned to Vladimir Putin's control. According to the Financial Times, the United States had suggested partially releasing the assets to entice Russia into peace negotiations. Vanhanen deemed the proposal absurd and assessed that Putin would not abandon his war of aggression without reciprocal concessions. Vanhanen believed that Europe had been discussing for years the use of frozen assets for the benefit of Ukraine but had not properly addressed the principal amount itself. He wrote that the United States was now even suggesting transferring the assets to Washington's oversight. According to Vanhanen, Russia should pay for the destruction it has caused, and Europe should find ways to use the assets to support Ukraine instead of making them a bargaining chip. https://t.co/9zBKU31Qb4 #Ukraina #Venäjä #rauhanneuvottelut (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that NATO's commander for European forces, Alexus Grynkewich, had described the alliance's strategic thinking in preparation for a possible Russian attack without revealing classified operational plans. According to Vanhanen, the speech aimed to convey that an attack on NATO territory would fail, and to reassure Europeans. He noted that the speech did not indicate, in his view, that NATO was anticipating an immediate attack. Vanhanen mentioned that Grynkewich summarized the theory of victory in three phases: the attack would be halted, its advance would be paralyzed, and if necessary, the military system supporting the attack would be broken. According to Vanhanen, this could mean strikes not only against the attacking troops but also against their logistics, command, and other support systems, if necessary, within Russian territory. The goal, in his interpretation, would not be to defeat Russia as a state, but to prevent it from seizing even part of NATO territory and pressuring the alliance to accept the situation. Vanhanen also highlighted from the speech that the plan took into account a situation where U.S. forces would be tied up in another war. He considered this a crucial issue for Europe and referred to the limited military resources of the United States and Trump's Russia policy, which he believed had made Washington's decisions difficult to predict. Vanhanen proposed that alongside NATO's plan, Europe needs its own plan for victory. Its goal would be for European NATO countries to be able to repel and defeat a large-scale conventional Russian attack over the next ten years even without U.S. combat troops. He believed this would require a joint assessment of the shortcomings in European defense, regular exercises without the assumption of U.S. participation, and binding decisions to correct the deficiencies. Vanhanen wrote that the purpose of a credible deterrent would be to make the initiation of war unprofitable for Russia. #Nato #Venäjä #turvallisuus (translated)
