Ukrainska Pravda – March 21, 2024
Russia should not expect the West to limit its support for Ukraine to arms supplies.

Details: “The war will end when Russia stops attacking,” Burkhard told reporters after talks in Paris with General Mikael Boden, the commander of the armed forces of new NATO member Sweden.
Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin “has built his operation on the idea that the West will never go into Ukraine but will simply supply weapons,” Burkhardt said.
“We have to show him that he cannot use this logic to go all the way, because this idea is not correct,” he added.
“The war in Ukraine concerns us because we are involved in its aftermath. Therefore, Europeans must be able to take risks to ensure the security of Europe in the next decade,” the general said.
Despite the controversy surrounding his remarks about the possible deployment of Western troops to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron refused to back down, insisting that his statements were well thought out but also stressing that France would not follow the “logic of escalation” in its relations with Moscow.
Subsequently, commenting on the idea he raised, Macron stressed that if such a scenario were to be implemented, French forces would not launch an offensive against Russia.
“The president’s intention is to let Vladimir Putin know that we are aware of what is at stake in Ukraine,” Burkhardt said.
Let his children go first.
Is this pillock the French version of General Mark Milley? lol
I can’t comment on the precise wording, as I suspect there’s errors in the translation.
I still believe there’s a slim chance that either or both German and French militaries will coup their own Nazi regimes. Maybe when the dead start coming home.
I have a bucket list. I would like to see Paris before it dies.
So THAT’S where my Boy Scouts cap went.. on top of General Thierry F*ckTard’s head! 😠
Last time they poked the bear they had to hand over the keys of Paris .. and the Napoleon of that period had to be isolated on an island because he was a dangerous clown ..
I am a fat middle aged man I took my hot thirty year old bird to Paris last year don’t bother ps I speak excellent french
Where I go for my hols in France, it’s a former hot spot of the French Resistance. These boys really don’t f*ck around. Fabulous people. Macron will swing soon. Ha ha.
Nothing learned by the last two big wars then? They love a good thrashing ,the French?
The much feared French army will quickly run off when their truck breaks down. This top general is just a clown who is mainly concerned with the number of guys deserting , as the French normally like to do, and do it well.
They can send weapons and ammo, as well as a few gung ho war loving young volunteers, but after that?
I look forward to watching to the war protests during the summer Olympics in Paris.
It should be very entertaining.
