The war in Ukraine is “existential for our Europe and for France”, Mr Macron said in the interview on France 2 and TF1.

“Do you think that the Poles, the Lithuanians, the Estonians, the Romanians and the Bulgarians could remain at peace for a second [in the event of a Russian victory in Ukraine]?” he asked. “If Russia wins this war, Europe’s credibility would be reduced to zero.”

      I’m still upset that Ukraine didn’t mine their border with Russia out of fears of ‘escalation.’

      The world really cucked Ukrainians at every step.

        The whole ‘border’ with Crimea should have been a deathtrap. I think it came out the Ukrainian commanders there were in cahoots.

          That unfortunately wouldn’t surprise me.

          I honestly never considered how much Ukrainian corruption was the direct result of Russia, but now it all makes sense.
