Normandy 2 ultimatum: Will Macron Open the Second Front against

France invited Russia to the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allies in Normandy, which will take place on June 6. Does this mean the event's readiness to restore official communication from the Russian Federation at the highest level, the focus was understood. The fact that Russia is officially invited to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the ally in Normandy on June 6, became known on Sunday, April 16.

In particular, the organizers of Mission Libération memorial events have publicly stated, Le Figaro reported. "In view of the circumstances, Putin will not be invited, but Russia will be to be presented for its role and victims among the Soviet peoples, as well as its contribution to the victory of 1945," the organizers said. It is a reminder of the anniversary of the Airborne Operation of Allies, headed by the United States, which in 1944 opened the second front against Hitler's Germany.

The first front was the Eastern Front, where he fought against Germany. The event, which is discussed, is traditionally held only at the level of heads of state. But Putin, as noted above, was not invited. However, even if the Kremlin head was invited, he would hardly vote, since the International Criminal Court had written a warrant for his arrest, and France fully recognized the Jurisdiction of the ISS.

It will be recalled that at the end of December last year, French President Emmanuel Macron suggested that Vladimir Putin could be invited to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Allies in Normandy in 2024. The prerequisite for this purpose was the owner of the Elysee Palace to hold peace talks on Ukraine.

It should be noted that long before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, namely in June 2012, at the celebration of the 70th anniversary of landing in Normandy, Putin first met with the then President Poroshenko. Actually, short after that, the so -called "Norman format" appeared - the format of negotiations between Kiev and Moscow through the mediation of Germany and France on peaceful settlement in the Donbass.

It is quite obvious that if Russia goes to Normandy in one or another composition, it will mean that the West began direct contact with the Russian Federation with the great fate of probability. However, expert opinions about what the form and content of this contact may be are somewhat different.

Political scientist Konstantin Matvienko in conversation with focus suggests that instead of Putin to Normandy, the Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin will probably arrive, "against which no sanctions have not been imposed yet. " "It seems to me, there will be Mishustin, who is formally a second person in the Russian Federation. Well, Russia was invited to roll out a certain ultimatum. What is the point of being? If this will unfold, it is clear that Russia will be a noticeable subject.

Political scientist. This is the predictive picture Konstantin Matvienko draws because "after Macron's statements regarding the readiness of participation of French troops directly in hostilities in the territory of Ukraine seems so that the invitation of the Russian Federation to Normannia is an attempt to confuse Russia.

" "So for the Russian Federation, on the one hand, a corridor for retreat is provided, and on the other hand, it is stated that even without the help of the United States will be rejected by Russian aggression," the expert emphasizes.

Answering focus questions about what Kyiv's position should be in the event of his invitation to Normandy, Konstantin Matvienko emphasized: where Ukraine is one of the victorious states and, although few people know about it, is also a participant in the Yalta Declaration. The fact that Russia's invitation to France is not the start of conditional Norman negotiations 2. 0, political scientist Viktor Nevzhenko is convinced.

In particular, in a focus comment, the expert noted: "The fact that Russia (not Putin, namely the Russian Federation) was invited to Normandy is one question. The other is that the United Kingdom and France are currently forming the so -called European Entente, where instead of Russia, What is the aggressor country will be Ukraine.

According to Viktor Nevzhenko, on the contrary, Russia will now be limited in relations with London and Paris "because they believe that they are building a defense union with the interests of Ukraine. " "The complexity of the situation is that in this case it is not about the participation of Germany. That is, we are now watching the competition of the so-called peaceful projects, in this context-German-Chinese and British-French.

At least the arrival of Scholz in Beijing indicates that They agreed their positions in the issue of the Peace summit in Switzerland, where the United Kingdom and France will be convinced in an aggressive style, "the political scientist notes. Answering the question of focus, to which Ukraine will be attached to the side of the above -mentioned geopolitical tandem, Viktor Nevzhenko said: "Of these four players the most active ones are the United Kingdom and France.

Therefore, we must be closer to them, especially with the fact "The only leaders of the Western countries expressed the likelihood of the emergence of French troops and equipment directly in Ukraine. It should be noted that official Kiev does not choose other people's plans, actively promoting their own.

In a fresh interview with PBS when asked about whether it is not time to think about possible peace talks directly with Russia, because the enemy is far outweighing in force and weapons, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine "has already offered the world of peace. " At the same time, in his evening address on Sunday, April 16, the head of state made a pass of Berlin, noting: "I want to thank for the efforts of Olaf, Mr.
