Trump's latest capitulation to Putin once again betrays our Ukrainian partners and goes against the clear intent of Congress, as it emerges from the legislation aimed at sanctioning Russia for its illegal war of aggression," said Virginia Democrat Don Beyer on X. #Ukraine #Trump #Poutine (translated)

Michel Goya responded to Alice Rufo that calling for negotiations or a peace conference without concrete proposals no longer addressed the question. He wrote that, for two years, Ukraine had been asking for an end to fighting on the current front line, and then to be left in peace. According to him, Vladimir Putin would accept this option provided that Ukraine cedes the Donbass and renounces having an army and defense forces. Goya believed that the choice was now between convincing the Ukrainians to capitulate and persuading Putin to end his aggression. He added that Donald Trump had quickly settled this question, while others might choose a "more dignified" position. #Ukraine #Poutine #Géopolitique (translated)

Daniel Conversano wrote that some sovereignists targeted Knafo after she pleaded for continued support for Ukraine. He believed that France should respect its commitments to its European partners and that cutting aid would likely not lead the Ukrainians to surrender but would push them to continue fighting with fewer resources and to suffer more losses. Conversano stated that donations of old military equipment amounted to 600 to 700 million euros and accused the pro-Putin sphere of making it seem that this aid was heavily burdening France. He criticized nationalists for lacking compassion towards a people who, in his view, were defending their territory and were white and Christian. He also contested that these expenditures, which he estimated at a few hundred million euros per year since 2022, explain the French decline or justify turning away from R!. Finally, he claimed that certain pro-Russian figures were funded to defend their positions and labeled those who made this issue a national electoral priority as fanatics. #Ukraine #Soutien #Politique (translated)
