Except in 1814 and 1871…He is French. Just remember, Paris was never taken by force. It always surrendered before it came to that in the last 1000 years.
Russian invasion of Ukraine | Fewer tweets, more discussion

Disgusting.
I don't believe anything about the Macron claims. It would be all over European or French papers and there is nothing.
That was my first thought, probably a bit of truth to it, but being reported as controversially as possible.
It was never about NATO.

Go on Olaf. You tell him. Mad Vlad must be rethinking everything now.
To be fair, there must be few things more terrible to experience than a long phone call with Olaf Scholz.
I am sure the ceasefire point has been requested by Putin.
Reminding him about the responsibility of the food situation is literally saying 'hey, look at this weapon you've got to use against us, remember that?'
What a fecking melt.
What a fecking melt.
Macron and Scholz have been absolutely pathetic through this.

I think they are abandoning efforts at a wide encirclement of Ukrainian troops along the Izyum-Slovyansk-Debaltseve line because (a) the troops from Izyum have suffered big losses; and (b) they've had to send some troops from there back northwards to counter Ukrainian troops pushing east and north-east from the Kharkiv area and which are now threatening the supply lines to Izyum.

Who is doing the comms for the German leadership? Christ. Ukraine doesn't want a ceasefire whilst being occupied. It feels like Germany and France keep saying "hold my beer" in recent weeks.

Believe me, the Germans aren't happy with the situation either, and some cracks are showing in the political system.
This morning Scholz attented a meeting of the parliamentary defence committee to answer questions about his politics in regard to Ukraine. Several members left early while he was speaking, as they didn't feel that their questions were answered.
All of them are members of the FDP, which is part of Scholz' government coalition. It doesn't mean much, but it shows how deeply divided the coalition is about Ukraine.
The YouTube guy you mentioned here, can’t remember the name but the army guy with a real punchable face, did a really good vid on Wednesday illustrating this and where Russia could set up strong defensive lines if they wise up. One of his better vids at what feels like another turning point in the war.

I was thinking about that: Scholz speaking for himself (or the SPD) in that tweet but not really for the coalition government. What are the chances that his and the SPD's stance on Ukraine/Russia will lead to the FPD and Greens replaceing the SPD with the CDU over this?
I think the chance is still quite small, but slowly increasing. It is definitely obvious that he does speak neither for the whole government nor for the parliament or public majority.
Yep, it’s a forced withdrawal.
Russia’s domestic crackdown on anti-war activities is immuring academic freedoms:

I think what western leaders completely fail (and always have failed) at is understanding a mentality of someone like Putin and his inner circle. Vast majority of them have been been part of criminal gangs in one way or another before they have even stepped a foot in Kremlin, their whole worldview is based on criminal nature or “panjatkax”, where they only respond to force and out of fear for themselves. Every phone call like that is interpreted as a sign of weakness in their fecked up heads.

See how gamers are outwitting and helping to kill Russian soldiers:
Macron you fecking plum.
Completely agree. There is no agreement with them that can be even remotely trusted. The only way forward is the destruction of Russian troops inside Ukraine until Putin is literally forced to save what is left of them by withdrawing back to the pre-February 24th positions.
You know what would really help Putin save face? Alsace, Calais, Champagne, Armorique and the Bourdeaux region. Come on Emmanuel, be a hero. Make the call.
The BBC reports:
"Russian offensives around river are relentless – analyst
A Ukrainian military analyst admits that constant attacks from Moscow mean the Ukrainians are on the back foot around the Siversky Donets river – even though they’ve managed to thwart Russian attempts to put down bridges near Severodonetsk.
“The advantage is now on the side of the Russian Federation,” Oleh Zhdanov tells the BBC. “We still can't bring down Russia's offensive pace.”
Zhdanov says it’s “very important” that his side keeps control of this part of the Siversky Donets.
Gaining the area would allow the Russians to make a bridgehead and advance in the direction of the river’s estuary, Zhdanov explains. This would let them encircle the key city of Severodonetsk more fully as they attempt to cut off Ukraine’s whole eastern Donbas region.
The order for soldiers to gain this territory came from the very top, Zhdanov adds.
“They are advancing so hard because it is a political task, because Putin has ordered it,” he says.
As we’ve been reporting today, UK defence intelligence says a Russian battalion lost almost all its armoured vehicles during failed attempts to establish bridges across the river. Russia has not commented."

Erdogan says Turkey not supportive of Finland, Sweden joining NATO
This could become a bit of a problem. Accession of new countries into NATO requires unanimity.Erdogan said:
It could be a play for money. Their economy is in a terrible state.
Depends on what region Macron was talking about. Is someone really expecting Ukraine to get Crimea back for exemple?
We can be sure that Macron wasn't talking about Crimea as that wouldn't save Putin's face at all.
Or F-35s.
Is this real? Is this the head of the richest country of Europe? Or is it satire, something like Darth Putin on Twitter?
(I am shocked he failed to tell him: Vlad, war is bad, bad, bad! Sorry Vlad, I mean special operation, sorry! )
If it was satire, what would be the joke?
Its an arms race of cuckery between him and Macron.
