French President Emmanuel Macron said the EU will “not abandon Ukraine and the Ukrainian people” and that Kyiv’s request for extra funds will be examined, while addressing the media at a summit in Brussels Friday. Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked EU leaders to provide Kyiv with an extra €70 billion next year to help with the country's ongoing fight against Russia.

What amount of money is it gonna take to rebuild France after this weekend is over?
Keep the money and use it SAVE EUROPE
My fellow Ukrainians, potatoes are in, hopefully, steak is definitely out.
Are his mansions up for sale?
Dear Ukrainian refugee:
These are your Ukrainian and French income tax forms.
Macron
******
Dear Ukrainian refugee in the USA:
Don’t forget to fill out your Ukrainian income tax forms.
I need to get lots of your green stuff.
Zelensky
Overseas Ukrainian adult 18-59:
At least $10,000 or 10,000 Euros, or to AFU basic training you will go.
I think Macro has bigger problems to deal with than the Ukraine. Like a revolution.
Did Macron read or see A Tale of Two Cities
An interesting question that needs answering is , if Europe , with its 800 million people, can barely afford to LEND Ukraine 70 billion euros how can a war torn, depopulated Ukraine ever afford to repay the loans
France is first they came for the Left, then Marine Le Pen will be next discredited as a Russian agent.
I would not cheer Macron’s rage against the Left there he hates Russia and is fanatical on Ukraine.
The Fourth Reich is still going toe-to-toe with the Russian Empire for the grain basket and other resources in the Ukraine.
Which is why they’re counting on the Democrats to win in November so Ukraine will get that $$$ from American taxpayers in January.
Well Emma maybe you haven’t noticed that your country is on fire.
Macron fiddles while France burns
Not yet but at least we Americans are armed unlike your beloved EU serfs:-)
The Ukraine is slowly being hollowed out and destroyed economically by this war
Zelensky and the EU have calculated that Russia is really only interested in digging in and holding the Donbas where the ethnic Russians live and not taking over more of Ukraine
The reality is that the Russians are not leaving Ukraine and the Ukraine cannot expel them
It’s been obvious since the first 18 months into this senseless war that the Ukraine was not going to be able to expel the Russians and that a negotiated settlement was the only way to end the conflict
At that point the total death toll for both sides was about 250000 KIA
The reality on the ground is that the Russians are not leaving and that all the war is doing is killing 25-30000 soldiers a month
Years later, the forever war in Ukraine has cost around 2 million Russian and Ukrainian lives and has caused serious destruction in both Ukraine and Russia plus only God knows how many wounded and crippled
For what? Absolutely nothing but continued death and destruction creaking an ever growing account of sunk costs that are financially exhausting all players and steadily depleting the resources available for rebuilding
President Trump put together a war settlement package for both sides that Putin publicly announced was so generous for both Russia and Ukraine that it was too good to pass up
Unfortunately, what is good for the Ukraine and Russia is not good for Zelensky and the globalists who engineered this conflict
The whole reason the war was instigated was to destroy Russia and facilitate the globalist takeover of the Ukraine and its vast natural resources
The real war in Ukraine is not being fought on the line of contact in Donbas , it’s being fought in the backrooms of the interests profiting from the war and looking to profit even more from post war Ukraine and the Trump Administrations efforts to bring the war to an end
If the Trump proposal was so generous that , in Putins words, it was almost too good to be true, it was even more favorable to Ukraine in that it had a very strong rebuilding and economic investment plan to finally allow Ukraine to fully recover from the fall of the USSR and prosper in a way commensurate with its natural resources and very capable and talented population
That is why Zelensky and his backers are fighting the Trump peace plan with all their might
By 2030, Zelensky will no longer be able to man an army.
Macron?
Was he playing a violin?
How does Ukraine 'negotiate' with Putin, who by invading Ukraine broke the treaty he personally signed, promising to respect its borders, but now is continually making maximalist demands of Ukraine which are essentially surrender demands?
In fact US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner told Ukrainian officials that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not even prepared to negotiate right now, an end to the war until Russia seizes the remaining Donbas.
The whole reason the war was instigated was to destroy Russia
LOL, complete Boris-Bot idiocy. Only ONE country Russia 'instigated' this war, which started with Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
If the Trump proposal was so generous that , in Putins words, it was almost too good to be true, it
Once again, Boris-Bots speak of some 'generous' deal Ukraine was offered without mentioning the specifics, which were a demand of Ukraine essentially surrendering.
Putin Demands:
Russia has demanded no NATO for Ukraine and no other alliances.
Russia demands Ukraine cede the entirety of the four provinces Moscow claims as part of Russia, including areas still held by Ukraine.
Russia demands Ukraine demilitarize: limit army to 600,000(1/2 current army) limits on number of tanks, artillery, planes and no missiles.
Russia demands Ukraine establish the Russian language as a co-official language.
Russia demands Ukraine to denazify, basically stop being Ukrainian.
Russia demands Ukraine reestablish the Moscow led Orthodox Church in Ukraine. The same one that declared a Holy War against Ukraine.
Russia demands a change in the leadership of Ukraine. I guess demanding a puppet government to be installed.
Russia demands amnesty for any war crimes
Russia demands changes to Ukrainian's constitution.
Russia demands Western peacekeeping troops are never allowed into Ukraine.
And Russia keeps adding to this list saying the "root causes" of this conflict have to be addressed.
If Ukraine agreed to this 'deal'(surrender) it would end up disarmed and without allies, completely defenseless to Putin's next invasion.
“Like a revolution.”
In France, is it still the muslim ‘college students’ that are responsible for rioting in the streets & the burning of Christian Cathedrals?
