The European ex-powers try to intimidate Russia with their feeble and largely nonexistent “unity”:
Statement issued by the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and United Kingdom.
We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine. We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia’s war of aggression.
We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies.
Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security.
We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defence capabilities.
This is one of the most retarded statements ever issued by a supposedly representative body, which, of course, the so-called “High Representative” isn’t. The only thing the “High Representative” represents is the subset of Clown World that runs its EU puppet leaders.
Everything about it is a lie. Russia is clearly, and as per usual in its history, fighting a defensive war. The fake borders notwithstanding, the Clown World-installed Kiev regime attacked the Russian people of the Donbass, refused to allow them self-representation, and did all of this AFTER the post-1991 expansion of NATO to which the USA had promised would not happen.
“Not one inch eastward” was the promise. The war is the obvious and inevitable result of Clown World’s attempt to expand its fake and gay rule through NATO, not “Russian aggression”.
The God-Emperor 2.0 has made it clear that the USA is not going to be Clown World’s enforcement arm any longer, and the collective forces of Europe would be hard pressed to fight Switzerland, let alone what is now a battle-hardened Russian army that has already defeated two NATO armies in addition to the Ukrainian army, as German military officers clearly know.
Military circles cite “around 120,000 soldiers as the lower limit” for the planned deployment. As the troops have to rotate, around 40,000 men and women would be deployed at any one time. EU military officials expect that the Europeans would be able to provide “up to 25,000 soldiers at most”.
The only move that will permit an immediate peace is if NATO withdraws to its 1991 borders, Russia is allowed to annex Odessa and all of the territory up to the Dnieper, Ukraine agrees to permanent neutrality, demilitarization, and the Kiev regime officials are surrendered to the Hague to face a war crimes tribunal made up of genuinely neutral parties led by China and India. Because if the unelected European “high representatives” don’t agree to this voluntarily, Russia is going to impose this and more unilaterally.
