Friends, I admit to you that since the day I entered the service of France, 33 years ago, I had never listened to the words of a living and contemporary French statesman.

The French president’s speeches today reflect the History currently being written in Europe, and in Ukraine in particular.

We can only hope that Emmanuel Macron will stay focused on the responsibility of France and Europe in the fight for the survival of the West.

We can only hope that France’s political will will awaken European and Western leaders.

We know that there are hundreds of thousands of victims of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Ukraine.

The only way to wake up the West is to show this reality to the world.
Nicolas Ligneul must bring to the Hague prosecutor not 50, not 500 but 5000 files and many more.

Only a global “psychological and political Pearl Harbor” will wake up the West and guarantee the sustainability of military aid to Ukraine.
We need this awakening.

I am not afraid to tell you here bluntly that we need Western troops on the ground; in clear terms, we need EU and NATO countries to send troops to fight alongside our Ukrainian brothers.

Let’s be clear.

Those in the West who support the idea of negotiating peace with Putin are cowards and idiots at best, and traitors and collaborators at worst.
I do not claim that my opinion accurately reflects that of all FUVI members.

But I share it with you.

I firmly believe that if Ukraine is weakened and we surrender, our world as we know it will collapse.

Ukraine had revealed itself since Maidan and since the Resistance of 2022 as the only valid reference of our Western, democratic and humanist civilization.

Ukraine was the sole survivor at the heart of a civilization in decline amid mindless consumerism.

We must keep faith in our Ukraine and fight our enemy without limits, relentlessly.

And we can still hope for the awakening of the great Alliance of Western Nations united to fight the powers of evil united by Russia.

СЛАВА НАЦІІ!🔱❤️🖤🔱

David also reposted this from ROMAN SHEREMETA:

Russia produces 250,000 artillery shells per month (3 million per year). That is three times more shells than the US and Europe can produce for Ukraine. The US and Europe can produce only 1.2 million units per year.

At the front, russian troops shoot about 10,000 shells per day, and Ukrainians shoot only 2,000. In some areas of the front, the situation is even worse. This is why the 800,000 shells found by the Czech Republic are so critical.

Hence the reason why we need Close Air Support / jet fighters-bombers ASAP.

Please keep in mind that Russian shells are also 3x less precise in their targeting, and around 1/2 the effective range of the 155 and equivalent 105… also, shells are less difficult to make than barrels…barrels are also needed… I feel the combined west has more industrial room to grow than Putin. Don’t forget that industrial capacity growth means the whole supply chain–all the way down to resource extraction. Putin doesn’t have the population or industrial economics to sustain much growth in capacity. Sanctions aren’t great at preventing existing capacity utilization, but they do work to make increasing capacity extremely difficult and costly. Putin’s only hope is that the west splinters and breaks appart in their support of #Ukraine. That’s why they are going above and beyond on their GRU/FSB subversion budgets and activities internationally. They know that it’s a proven highly effective weapon against western open democracies (open democracies’ Kryptonite, so to speak).

Even more damning is how this 800,000 shells were funded for and collected up by the new Czech presidential administration led by someone who was formerly a general (and a high-ranking NATO one no less) with nary a fuss or lots of PR grandstanding. President Pavel just hunkered down, made the right calls to the right people, set in place the objective of obtaining x number of shells, and got it done in a matter of weeks or a couple months at most. Put more ex-military career soldiers into national leadership instead of civilian career politicians, and perhaps NATO countries will begin to take supporting Ukraine with military aid and rebuilding their domestic defence capabilities much more seriously.
