  1. Here we go again, look at the dishonesty of this video or broadcast by leaving out what the Franch govt has said about Stopping the Russian players from coming to Paris for the games and that was the ticking point for the Russians so they said what FSB knew within two days of terrorist attack that the EU has played a major part in it.

  2. Russia is no longer a superpower, but they keep making threats thinking they are. Russia has shown how totally corrupt and incompetent they really are in Ukraine – No one cares anymore about Russia. 😂😂

  3. Sometime in the near future, due to constant bickering between polititians, we may see Ukraine go under, like so many other areas, and everyone will say: "How could we let it happen?"

  4. Finally Macron doing something right. If France sends troops to Ukraine, many countries would follow including the US. F**k Russia threats.

  5. All of these phone calls are high tech and recorded. So, there is no need to play "He said/She said," to placate the media, which in turn can either restate facts, report to satisfy listeners, or completely control the narrative. So, regardless of the exact messages communicated, I suspect that France's response is more about keeping a line of communication open, even if it means you have to deal with, or around, the person at the table. On the up-side, eventually, time, age, and death changes all of the players out. JUST SAYING…

  6. You know when a Russian is lying, there lips are moving! Russia has zero credibility on the world stage! If Russia didn't have nukes, well, we all know what would happen.

  7. I read a lot of europe history. French emperor Neppoliyan invaded eastern russia including Moscow. But none of the russian rulers tried to invade france.😊 So france no needs worry now.

  8. France denies showing readiness for Ukraine dialogue in Russia talks
    (Of course France is stabbing NATO in the back again :
    trying to negotiate behind everyone's back)

  9. Germany is too busy making money from the war funding the rebuilding of Mariopole.?

    Knauf and WKB Systems GmbH…..!
    Knauf currently employs 4,000 people in Russia and generates billions in sales in the Russian market.

    WKB Systems from the Munsterland region of North Rhine-Westphalia. Among other things, this company equips concrete block production plants.

    The company's main shareholder is Russian businessman Viktor Budarin, who is not under EU sanctions.

    No wonder they are not supplying the Taurus missile. There is always a reason… follow the money….I wonder if germany has actually supplied russia more money and resources to russia than it has to Ukraine's defence.

  10. It seems obvious that the party saying NO would be the party telling the truth, otherwise they WOULD say, "Yes, let's have peace negotiations." Those that support negotiations are those that can see that if this war that Russia has started, continous, it will be disasterous FOR Russia, BUT Russia can fix this by withdrawing from Ukraine, stopping at every village and bowing down and begging forgiveness from Ukrainians for the horror, terror, murder, rape and pillage they have unrepentedly done!
