France’s Minister in Ukraine for high-level talks amid strikes • FRANCE 24 English

Aerial onslaught on Kiev on Sunday night proved deadly, sending civilians to shelter in underground stations, while civilian infrastructure, a metro station, a supermarket, and a nursery went up in flames, not to mention homes. I’m not the only one. There are so many people who have lost their homes. The main thing is that everyone stays alive. That’s the most important thing. There is fatigue and a lot of nervousness. The air raid came just hours before NATO allies met to discuss arms deliveries for the embattled state, whose defense minister announced on Monday a $6 billion financing gap for the country’s military needs. On a visit to Kiev, the French foreign minister went to areas affected by the strikes of Sunday night before meeting with President Zilinski. Just days after the EU passed its 18th round of sanctions on Moscow aimed at slashing Russia’s oil revenue, there is a simple way all this to stop, a very simple one. Press Vladimir Putin to ceasefire and enter into peace negotiation. Press him now. Kiev has reiterated its willingness to pursue ceasefire negotiations and President Zalinsk’s willingness to meet with President Putin. The Kremlin responded ambiguously though that the two sides are quote diametrically opposed in their positions. But Donald Trump, previously very consiliatory with Putin, gave Moscow an ultimatum last week. 50 days to agree to a ceasefire or face a hike in sanctions.

Russia launched a wave of drone and missile attacks on Ukraine early Monday, striking residential buildings and a nursery in Kyiv—just days after President Volodymyr Zelensky called for renewed peace talks. The strikes coincided with a visit to the capital by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot.

  1. There is a indeed a very easy way to end this war stop sending weapons to Ukraine. The US started this word. The US should finish it and there is no way on earth. Putin can agree to a cease fire. There has to be a surrender and do it now because otherwise Putin will own Kyiv and all your stupid propaganda because that’s what it is we’ll have done is nothing you’ll be getting paid for skiving lies just like usual.

  3. France and the west are desperate! Ukraine keeps losing territory/settlements at an alarming rate, and the country is running out of men. None of the western weapons have proven to be game changers, the Russian are destroying them as soon as they are put on the field. The Russian have tripled their weapons output capacity outpacing that of NATOs, and the thousands of sanctions imposed on Russia have been a total failure as Russia's economy grows more than any other economy in Europe annually.

  5. There's not going to be much left of Ukraine if the leaders of the so-called coalition of the willing keep pussyfooting around. I'm starting to think macron's wife needs to start leading that coalition. She'll get s*** done

  6. Ukraine is now like when US invaded Iraq, they have no answer to Russian attacks. Zelenskyy should be thinking of conducting elections if he thinks he is popular.

  7. The French minister seems confused. The documents for signature, has been ready and available, for the better part of three years. All France needs to do, along with everyone else, is to sign them.

  8. People suffer, Zelensky and the Globalists are full of rage and hate. They brought this curse on Ukrainian people, starting with Bush, then Obama. It is easy for them to sacrifice a million Ukrainians (real Ukrainians I mean) than to admit that Russia had/has legitimate security concerns.

  11. Trump tried to Tariff China few months ago, it backfired spectacularly, now he wants to do it again.

    They may get India because India is weak, but when you couldn't tariff China, how could you justify tariffing India.

  12. Ucraine should not enter nato airapace with 4 planes when they want ! Romanian air space breached by ucraine 4 planes .. this is a clear intent to drag romania and nato in the war !

  19. I remember few days back German minister envoy arrived.
    Russians bombed all Facilities which he visited… I guess Russians came to conclusion what he was not visiting this places for the lunch…
