I know but I am giving an example where if there were a decision in the morning by the European Union to send in troops to Ukraine, and if there were a cessation of hostilities, the likelihood is that Russia would not allow the UN to deploy troops. Is that not the correct position? Therefore, under the triple lock system, because we would not have a UN mandate, we would not be able to deploy troops.
