Macron vows to prevent Russia from winning war in Ukraine

Macron vows to prevent Russia from winning war in Ukraine

French President Emmanuel Macron pledged to keep up France’s humanitarian, economic and military support to Ukraine and to bolster European unity as a way to pile pressure on Russia and prevent it from winning its war in that country. “We cannot let Russia militarily win the war,” Macron said in a speech to French ambassadors at the Elysee presidential palace. He set the goal of enabling Ukraine to either win militarily or be put in a strong position to achieve “a negotiated peace.” “We must get prepared for a long war,” Macron said, adding that this would involve tensions escalating…

We will force Russia to peace if all our partners keep their word as Ukraine does – speech by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Ambrosetti Forum

As you know, Ukraine is at the epicenter of Russian radiation blackmail right now. The Russian army seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant back in March and still holds it captive. This is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe - there are six nuclear reactors. The plant was repeatedly shelled. On the very first night, when the Russian occupiers entered there, on the night of March 4, they fired at the plant’s premises from tanks. There is video confirmation. Over the months after that, the situation has not changed - shelling and provocations every day, constantly. Under the cover…

The D Brief: Z threatens Russian troops

Run for your lives. That’s the message Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sent to Russian troops late Monday night, after the apparent start of the long-awaited counteroffensive in Ukraine’s south. “If they want to survive, it’s time for the Russian military to run away.

The Russian government has a different view of the situation, of course: They say they’ve repelled Ukrainian attacks and will continue to push forward with their invasion. “All our goals will be reached,” said…

Russia is desperately trying to fill its ranks depleted by its poor showing in its unprovoked war on Ukraine

Russia is desperately trying to fill its ranks depleted by its poor showing in its unprovoked war on Ukraine, a senior defense official said speaking on background today. Russia is seeking to increase the size of its military by 137,000 to 1.15 million. U.S. officials have said that Russia has lost between 60,000 and 80,000 troops in its misguided war on Ukraine. Smoke fills the area in front of a military tank that recently fired its artillery. Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the increase be in place effective in January 2023. "This effort is unlikely to succeed, as…

Resistance movement eliminated occupiers in Zaporizhzhia who went to look at fire at ammunition warehouses

On the night of August 30, the resistance movement destroyed the Russian invaders who went to look at the burning ammunition warehouse in Mykhailivka, Zaporizhzhia region "The occupiers probably did not even know that in the south it is so hot in every sense.
