Europe may need to engage Putin directly if Ukraine peace talks stall, Macron warns

1. Well, then, they should be prepared to do that since Russia has no real interest in peace talks, except to buy time.

2. They only need to set up a no fly zone above ukraine. How hard is that ?

3. Why this anymore? He made his position ever so clear,
   what for? He has to lose that terrible war and face the consequences

4. Duh.

5. With long range missiles yes.

6. I hope they mean engage directly with cruise missiles!

7. “If.”

   Hopefully Macron grasps that there are no real “peace talks” going on right now, since Russia has no interest in peace — only in ways to gain advantage in its invasion.

8. I get it. You (our western leaders) need to show that you’re trying to achieve peace, for a number of good, level-headed reasons.

   Do you (our leaders) truly believe that pukin will accept any deal other than full capitulation from Kyiv?

   Because nobody else believes a damn thing that comes out of the cretin’s mouth… at some point, you need to hush and focus on cranking up sanctions on ruSSia and military production for both the EU and Ukraine.

   Enough talking the talk, time to walk the walk, i could be wrong but i think it’s what the majority of us want to see 

9. If it is by pleading “please Putin negotiate”, then it is pointless.

10. Step on his throat and tell him to stop pretending Russia isn’t a terrorist state and the asshole of the world. They are so delusional. They cannot win this war.

11. Yes. Eventually Russia will come groveling for direct talks, desperate for Europe to help end the war. Putin will engage in direct talks after Ukraine has utterly destroyed the Russian energy industry with strategic drone strike, growing in volume ever single day. Let’s see how Putin is feeling two years from now.

    Europe only has to keep providing sufficient funding to keep Ukraine in the fight eventually to achieve total defeat of Putin. Today Europe has financed the Ukraine for the next two years. I fully expect Europe to fund an additional two years in 2027.

12. He really likes to state the obvious

13. Jesus f*ck I am tired of the lack of imagination of those people.

    German/dane here…

    Germany, France, UK… come on… they are just all a shadow. Career politicians. It is not their fault but they are just not cut out.

    Now, even my Prime Minister here in Denmark which I usually don’t like does a mater job in regards to Ukraine. Equally the leader of Estonia etc.

    But the “grand old men” are just failing.

    Spain is a joke and …well… my ranting doesn’t do shit. But those people will run if a single russian missile hits us.

14. You first Macron

15. Very good idea.
