Justifying France. HB watched the movie about Macron's actions at the beginning of the Russian Federation with Ukraine and recounts the six most interesting episodes

NV watched the ribbon, the President, Europe and the war, which was shown at France. tv on June 30; In September, it was placed on YouTube with English subtitles (now removed). Video of the day just ended five -hour negotiations of Macron and Putin. They communicated without advisers; The dictator put the guest on the opposite side of the long table. In the movie, Macron and his assistants stroll near the snow -covered Kremlin. “I told him that the situation was more hot than in 2008 and 2014.

They seem to analyze deeply whether NATO can answer, - the President of France says. - We must keep in touch. Everything is very anxious. He told me about Belarus that he was not going to pass her nuclear potential or create a permanent base there. Like, I do not need Belarus. Almost funny. " The real anxiety of the French delegation is not the war that knocks on the door, but . . . the differences in the conclusion of a billion -year contract for the supply of Alstom locomotives for Ukrzaliznytsia.

Work on it took three years - and everything can break before the very moment of signing the document. CEO of Alstom Henri Pupart-Lafare has left negotiations. Presidential Advisor for Continental Europe, France's Exhibit in Kiev Isabel Dumont in Despair: "Bad news: the contract will not be signed," she squeals with her hands. - We came to Kiev, almost war here, we had to sign contracts. This is a misunderstanding. Hence the evacuation of people.

The US Embassy took out diplomats a couple of weeks ago. And our embassy is left. Because there are these contracts. They need to prove that we are investing in their country, in addition, it is a political gesture. ” The delegation discusses how to solve the problem. In the end, Dumont writes a note of Macron, who speaks Tet-A-Tet ​​with Vladimir Zelensky. This is an obvious violation of the rules of the protocol, but the message still manages to pass to the President.

Macron's diplomatic adviser Emmanuel Bonn calls the head of the Presidential Office of Ukraine Andriy Yermak and says that the differences are settled. Alstom and Ukrzaliznytsya signed a memorandum in the presence of heads of states. The transcript of this conversation by the French Foreign Ministry posted before the release of Lagash's film. In Moscow, it caused a great annoyance. The video makes the drama of conversation that lasted almost two hours.

The operator removes the reaction of Bonn and other macron's diplomatic advisers who listen to dialogue through a loud connection in the next room. Putin stated that Zelensky publicly spoke for the restoration of Ukraine's nuclear status. "Oh no!" Bonn says. "It's a lie!" - adds one of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The dictator insists that Kyiv has to communicate directly with the LDNR separatists, who, they say, have submitted proposals for changes to the Ukrainian legislation.

Macron: “I do not know where your lawyers studied the right. Here is the text of the Minsk agreements. I do not understand which lawyer could tell you that in a sovereign country separatists are drawn up by laws, not legally elected authorities. " Isabel Dumont laughs, one of the advisers notes: "It was very good here!" Macron proposes to organize Russian negotiations with US President Joe Biden in Geneva. Putin does not refuse and promises to ask his people to prepare them.

Macron tells the assistants that he is pleased with Putin's conversation, because now Paris's position is "protected". “He will find himself in a difficult position if he plays back. In terms of accuracy. Now he opposed-PF-F-F . . . I was very consistent. He caught himself all the time that the guy was lying. And I have evidence of this, ”the President comments. Within a few hours, Emmanuel Bonn binds to the Kremlin's diplomatic advisor Yuri Ushakov. The conversation is disappointed.

“The problem is that Putin is a liar. He instructed Ushakov not to mention the summit in any way, ”Bonn says. “Intelligence tells us that the risks are high. There are fears of [invasion], but there is no 100 % confirmation. But we understand that they are ready for the offensive, ”says Ukrainian president of colleague. Putting the tube, Macron addresses the advisers: “He is always cold -blooded. He has such peace that, e-eh, impresses. Honestly, I'm just delighted.

There is no nervousness in his language, nothing like that. But it is surprising. Something is wrong now. " He is wondering if there is at least some contact with the Kremlin in Kiev. Assistants shook their heads. French President asks Vladimir Zelensky whether the Kremlin dictator Putin has started a full invasion. “What they do is terrible. They seized new cities, including regional centers. Use planes, tanks. And come to Kiev. We are already beating in Kiev, Emmanuel, ”he replies.

"Are civilians dead, do you know how much?" Macron asks. “We do not know exactly. Thousands, ”Zelensky says. "Of course. This is a total war, ”the interlocutor replies. The President of Ukraine asks Emmanuel Macron and Europe leaders to influence Putin's dictator jointly and organize an "anti -war coalition". "I will do this immediately," the French president promises. For a few seconds after the conversation, the macron sits, tapping his fingers and bowing his head. Then he looks at Bonn. "Such . . .

" - says the adviser. In the first half of 2022, France presided in the European Union. At the initiative of Macron, a special meeting of the heads of states and governments of the community was convened to discuss Putin's intervention and the way to respond to it. The discussion was delayed. “This is Europe.

27 leaders, everyone wants to speak, and on each topic, ”the film's writing of the President of France on international issues Ann Sophie Bradel explains the author of the film in the sidelines. "But this approach works," adds Emmanuel Bonn. "Unlike the UN or other organizations, there is a common interest. " Macron on the third morning leaves the hall where the summit passed. He smiles. "We agreed everything," the president says.

An hour later, at a press conference, he made a statement about the greatest sanction in the history of European order: “The EU has decided to strike a severe blow to Moscow, both against individuals and against sectors. The tragic times of history returned. The war is here on our earth.

Therefore, it is important for us to demonstrate that Europe is not just a consumer market, but a real force that should take care of both energy independence, climate change, and defense, the ability to protect our citizens and our borders. The war we are experiencing shows it with all cruelty. In these tragic times, the EU has no choice but to become such a force.

" In negotiations in the Ukrainian capital, Macron, Italy Prime Minister Mario Dragi, Romania President Klaus Johannis and German Chancellor Olaf Scholt, have been fully supported by Ukraine's struggle for freedom and the country's desire to become a full part of the European Union. On the way from Kiev to Poland, Macron in his coupe summarizes in a conversation with journalist Gi Lagash the results of the visit. "Has Zelensky changed since February 8, when we saw the last time? So! This is fate.
