Dagger .

 


One of the justifications for the Russian war against Ukraine is the need to remove the “dagger to the throat of Russia” by insisting on Kyiv’s neutrality and demilitarisation. 


Ukraine would have to give up its right to join either NATO or the EU, completely demilitarise and not allow foreign military bases on its territory.  

The notion of the “Finlandisation” of Ukraine has been widely discussed. The legal framework for this consisted of the 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland and the 1948 Finno-Soviet Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance

Article 8 of the 1947 treaty required Finland to ban any “organisations conducting propaganda hostile to the Soviet Union”. The 1948 agreement, although not requiring demilitarisation, stipulated in Article 4 that Finland must not “conclude or join any coalition directed against” the Soviet Union. The 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland.

Simple solution to those who desire war, killing, intemidation and threatining of other nations.  Just a "Neutral" thought.
