"The only #imperial power I see in #Europe today is #Russia." - President #Macron reacted to Lavrov's words that he is "a descendant of #Napoleon and #Hitler."

During the briefing after the #EU emergency summit on defense and #Ukraine support, President Macron also #emphasized that it is #impossible to conclude an #agreement on ending the war without #security #guarantees for Ukraine.

"I know President Putin well, so if he reacts like this, it's because he knows I've spoken the #truth and that I know he can and has betrayed the agreements he signs. I'm here to testify to that, since Chancellor #Merkel and I were the #guarantors, through the #Normandy process, of the #Minsk agreements, which he deliberately #violated," Emmanuel Macron said.

#Macron :
"In 2014, our predecessors negociated #peace with #President #Putin.
But because of the lack of guarantess , and especially #security #guarantees, he #violated #this #peace. [..]
This is why being strong and having #deterrence #capacities, is the only way...

Macron Says A Strong Deterrenc...

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands.

#Zelenskyy said a deal with #Russia is pointless w/o #security #guarantees.

Here’s why: #Kyiv made this mistake before.

#Moscow broke ceasefire after #Minsk agreements. International lawyer Oleksandr watched it all unfold.

so when #actors #comedians and #clowns are in #power u can expect shit to happen

what kind of #guarantees does #Zelenskyy want? #NATO like guarantees? that's probably too much to ask for (right now)

but yes #zelenskyy is right, that this #mineraldeal should be just the start

but they already messed up the start :(

#US #companies doing #mining in #Ukraine would be great, because they will SURELY protect their #mining sites with #antiaircraft #guns and #rockets so this is a win for #Ukraine

#unfortunately this is also #true #zelenskyy was a #comedian, #actor (just as '#Reagan btw) is #rich and #rutheless does he even care about #Ukraine? (or just about himself) i don't know
#truth

Western inaction on Ukraine’s security guarantees opens door to global nuclear proliferation

Western indecision in Ukraine’s pursuit of #security #guarantees risks triggering a global chain reaction, with nations turning to #nuclear #weapons as a deterrent in the absence of reliable security commitments.

#Ukraine's security commitment - the #Budapest #Memorandum of 1994 - is currently and has been repeatedly violated

Mykhailo #Podolyak
(#Zelensky's chief adviser) today:

120+ missiles over launched by the "evil Russian world" to destroy critical infrastructure & kill civilians en masse.
We’re waiting for further proposals from "#peacekeepers" about "peaceful settlement", "#security #guarantees for RF" & undesirability of provocations.

x
#Medvedev said that #Russia wants "maximum security #guarantees to normalize the situation"

Image as a reminder:

These were Russia's demands for pre-invasion guarantees: #Belarus-style #Ukraine as Russia's puppet state
&
Limiting the actual functioning of #NATO to near-Soviet-era borders (the only major difference is actually an undivided Germany)

Trying to make future deals with #Putin is like a judge believing that an abusive drunk husband, after beating his wife for 9 years, will promise never, never, NEVER beat her again ...but he has no plans to stop drinking...

Prior to any future #guarantees #Russia must change, that means Putin's totalitarian and expansionist system must be ended.

As well #Nazis were first eliminated in Germany in WWII and only then did German/European reconstruction/integration begin...
