Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty – June 7, 2024
French President Emmanuel Macron says he wants to finalize the creation of a coalition of military instructors for Ukraine and begin Kyiv’s EU accession talks by the end of the month.
Speaking on June 7 at a joint news conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Macron said several of France’s partners had already agreed to take part in the coalition of instructors.
“We will use the days to come to finalize the largest possible coalition to implement Ukraine’s demand,” Macron said.
Ukraine’s top commander said last week he had signed paperwork allowing French military instructors to soon access Ukrainian training centers. Russia responded by saying they would be a “legitimate target” for Russian armed forces.
Kyiv has been pushing Europe to increase military support in recent weeks after Russia began gaining ground on the battlefield, particularly in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region.
However, White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters in a conference call on June 7 that because of a recent infusion of U.S. aid, the Ukrainians have been able to “thwart Russian advances,” particularly around Kharkiv.
“The Russians really have kind of stalled out up there, basically,” Kirby said. “Their advance on Kharkiv is all but over because they ran into the first line of defenses of the Ukrainian armed forces and basically stopped, if not pulled back some units.”
In his joint news conference with Zelenskiy, Macron also addressed EU accession talks, saying France “continues to support Ukraine in all areas, including on the European level by seeking to have the effective launch of membership negotiations by the end of the month.”
He added that France also wants an “irreversible path” to NATO membership for Ukraine.
Macron also said that France is on the side of peace but said it would not come through surrender.
“We are for peace, according to international law, which allows the people who are attacked to defend themselves,” he said in response to questions about possible concessions by Russia and whether it is time to start negotiations with Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier on June 7 in St. Petersburg that Russia is “ready for talks” with conditions, including taking into account the “realities of today” — an apparent reference to Russia’s illegal annexation of four regions in southeastern Ukraine and Crimea.
Putin also again claimed that Ukraine’s leaders “have lost their legitimacy,” referring to the postponement of Ukrainian elections.
“It seems like we are dealing with the usurpation of power,” Putin said, speaking to business leaders at an economic forum.
Putin has previously questioned whether Zelenskiy has the legitimacy to negotiate on Ukraine’s behalf because his five-year term in office was supposed to end on May 20.
An election was to have taken place on March 31 but was postponed because the country is still under martial law. Under the Ukrainian Constitution, Zelenskiy must continue to perform his duties until a new head of state is elected.
Zelenskiy responded to Putin during the joint news conference, saying his legitimacy is recognized and determined by the Ukrainian people, adding that Putin’s legitimacy “is recognized only by comrade Putin.”
Please consider what is taking place compared to WWII. We are submitting to NAZI behavior We are matching to the NAZI, behavior of the 40s and 50s. We are matching our behavior to that of NAZI Germany.
What a loathsome, absurd, bloviating reeking shit-stain Macron is, the sawed-off sodomite. My girlfriend recently suggested we spend a few days in France on our next European holiday, and I told her not a f*cking chance and that I would not spend one jewro, er that’s euro, in that sewer. We are running out of places to visit and/or spend any of our money in anything close to good conscience.
The sawed-off sodomite vomited out, “We are for peace, according to international law, which allows the people who are attacked to defend themselves.” Oh, like all those ethnic Russians in Donbas and Luhansk who were getting pummeled by Jewkrainian thugs for years before Russia stepped in to help defend them? And who the f*ck are Macron and that vile criminal kike Jewlensky to be spouting off about “international law” and elections when they should have been dragged through the streets by their ankles and fed into a wood-chipper years ago?
I would love to see Macron and Jewlensky kitted up, rifles in their trembling hands, helmets flopping around on their midget heads, at the Russian front in a trench…literally shitting themselves… What I’d love to see even more is both of them in front of the Eiffel Tower, disemboweled and strangled with their own intestines, after having been worked over with tire irons and claw hammers, violently sodomized by Dindu and the Migrant Boyz, vigorously flogged, and rolled in pig shit and salt…while their families are beaten to pulps and forcibly impoverished of all their ill-gotten wealth.
How brave of the effeminate Macron to provide masculine French men to train Ukrainians and then point them to the front.
Could this also be one of those Those who can do, those that can’t teach incidences.
