Subjectivity: Sending Soldiers to Ukraine-Will it Help Them?

 

Ukraine lost some towns and villages to the Russians after the US House of Representatives did not approve the budget that included military aid to Ukraine. Ukraine is running out of military equipment day by day. European countries are sending some military aid to Ukraine, but it's not enough to liberate the Russian-occupied territories. Both sides are maintaining the status quo on the battlefield. And in the US elections in November, Donald Trump, the isolationist ex-president of the US, may win. If he wins, he has said he will not support Ukraine and will "stop the war on day one". The latest developments on the battlefield are slightly negative for Ukraine and slightly positive for Russia. Then French President Macron said that they could send soldiers to Ukraine to help them. But will sending soldiers help Ukraine?

The technological status of an army is more important than manpower in modern times. Russia has more manpower than Ukraine. But why can't Russia take over the whole of Ukraine? After Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, the Ukrainian army started training with the US and European countries. The Ukrainian army began to buy Western military equipment. This equipment has helped Ukraine modernise it's army. So you need military equipment to win a war. 


Ukraine needs military equipment, not empty words. France has sent less equipment than some other European NATO countries and the US. They must send more military equipment to Ukraine. Not only France, but also other NATO countries need to send more equipment. Ukraine has the manpower to contain Russia. But their needs must be met.  If we don't help Ukraine, Russia will not stop at Ukraine.

To summarize, It has started with too many scandals, although some improvement achieved. 100 states has supported phasing out fossil fuels, fossil fuel firstly agreed as a source of climate change first time in final agreement in COP summits. But I don't think this is enough. Firstly, I's been used and it'll continued to use by petrol states and petrol companies for greenwashing. Secondly, It's only advisory. Some agreements can be reached between states, but they are not checked whether compliance is made or not and no punishment for violator states.

Only one country can stop final agreement negotiations for their own ambitions. Also, the ...
