Macron's very important statements regarding Ukraine
If Ukraine decides and asks for allied forces to be on its territory, it is not up to Russia to accept or not. 1/4 ⬇️
A thirty-day ceasefire has made it possible to reconcile views and agree on a process that allows for the establishment of trust. 2/4
Moscow's refusal and the implicit threats that have been made (...) demonstrate the insincerity of Russia's commitment and, ultimately, its unwillingness to undertake genuine peacemaking. 3/4
Security guarantees must be credible. I can confirm that several European countries, and indeed non-European ones, have expressed their willingness to join such an effort [deploying troops to Ukraine]. 4/4

Oleksandr Bevz, Advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, shares exclusive details of the U.S.-Ukraine negotiations:
There was no discussion of Ukraine being expected to make any territorial concessions or recognize any territory as part of Russia. 1/12⬇️
The conversation began with a clear reaffirmation that Ukraine will never recognize occupation. Not a single piece of Ukrainian land occupied by Russia since 2014 will ever be recognized as part of the Russian Federation. 2/12
Any such recognition by other international actors—states or organizations—sets an extremely dangerous precedent. And we did not get the impression that the American position on this has changed. 3/12
General Zaluzhnyi's comprehensive perspective on the war, security guarantees, and a new security architecture.
Ukraine is bleeding out, but miraculously continuing to fight. Yet, we are already seeing critical points that could shake its ability to defend itself. 1/14⬇️
And still, Ukraine fights—it’s some kind of miracle—against the Axis of Evil.
In 2024, Russia entered with what we are told are supposedly insignificant strategic agreements with Iran, China, and North Korea, merging their economies. Has Ukraine joined any alliance? No.
Until a coalition, similar to Anti-Hitler coalition, is formed that can stop this Axis of Evil—whether militarily or economically—there will be no recovery. 3/
Robert Brovdi, Commander of the Ukrainian 414th Separate Brigade of Unmanned Combat Aerial Systems - Madyar's Birds, shares valuable insights into the evolution of drone warfare:
Drones have fundamentally changed the doctrine of the Russia-Ukraine war. 1/14 ⬇️
The timely appearance of drones and their increasing role in combat effectiveness—now responsible for over 50% of confirmed kills, even by conservative estimates—has made commanders highly dependent on them. 2/14
In the first year of drone operations, we were able to hit about 150 to 200 targets per month. This served as a significant motivator for us, as we were actually taking out the first units of armored vehicles. 3/14
The failure to qualify the actions of Russia as aggression is a huge challenge for the entire world and Europe in particular. Not just the axis of evil are trying to revise the world order, but ultimately U.S. is destroying it. 1/13⬇️
Formal conditions for the revision of the world order are clear, and the reference point for this is the potential end of the war in Ukraine. The world order is now ruined; Look at the U.S., the White House has questioned the unity of the Western world. 2/13
Now Washington is trying to delegate security issues to Europe without the participation of the U.S., so we can say that in the near future, NATO can stop existing. 3/13
We cannot forget that Russia began to invade Ukraine in 2014 and we then negotiated a ceasefire in Minsk. And the same Russia did not respect this ceasefire.
Today, we can no longer take Russia's word for it. 1/5⬇️
Ukraine has the right to peace and security for itself, and it is in our interest and in the interest of the security of the European continent. It is in this sense that we are working with our British, German and several other European friends. 2/5
Russia continues to rearm, and by 2030, it plans to further increase its army, adding 300,000 soldiers, 3,000 tanks, and 300 more fighter planes. Who can believe, in this context, that today's Russia will stop at Ukraine? Russia has become, a threat to France and to Europe. 3/5
Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi shares interesting details about the dynamics of the war:
Discussions about potential negotiations impact the military, as they do everyone. However, our task is to stay focused and not succumb to weakness. 1/14 ⬇️
We are conducting active defense, particularly in sectors where the enemy has a numerical advantage, such as the Pokrovsk area, where Russian forces have outnumbered us 4.5 to 1. Notably, Russia expended more resources in 2024 than the previous two years (2022-2023) combined. 2/
Initially, Russian tactics were predictable. However, in 2024, they replaced their entire command structure, and unfortunately, this led to more creative and adaptive operations. 3/14
