France will not accept “any demilitarization of the Ukrainian army,” French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said.

“Demilitarization” and “denazification” were two insincere excuses that the Kremlin used to invade Ukraine in a war of territorial and ethnocidal aggression in February 2022.
The Ukrainian army is “the main guarantee” of Ukraine’s security, Lecornu said in the opening remarks at the Paris Defence and Strategy Forum, which gathered over 30 army chiefs to discuss what Europe and the West can offer in support of Ukraine as part of a peace deal with Russia.
The French defense minister added that Europe is facing a “new period” in its history, significantly different from the Cold War and the period of “peace dividends” with several powers fighting for influence.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia demanded that Ukraine reduce its army to 50,000 personnel. Moscow also sought to ensure that Kyiv “did not develop, produce, purchase, or deploy missile weapons of any kind with a range of over 250 kilometers (156 miles) on its territory.”
Ukraine has repeatedly highlighted the need for security guarantees in the event of a ceasefire in the war with Russia.

Are you trying to sketch a world where poor russia is fighting for it’s survival as a nation? Poor Russia has no choice but to keep invading a sovereign nation they invaded, because otherwise that sovereign nation might show their anger?
You know what, IF russia pulls back to their <2014 borders, and IF they stop attacking and provoking and IF they pay reparations for every house and hospital they destroyed, then they should be praising god on their bare knees that that will suffice and Ukraine is willing to settle for being better than Russia and not murdering hundreds of thousands of civilians like Russia did.
Known bootlicker. They’ve been spewing pro russia bullshit since I’ve joined almost 2 years ago.
