This is some very strange strategy regarding European security guarantees for Ukraine: after the conclusion of a peace agreement, Ukraine will immediately receive a military presence from its allies (those who agree), and in the event that Russia violates the ceasefire, a joint military response by Ukraine and the EU from the "coalition of the willing" is expected.
First, under such conditions Putin is even less interested in any “ceasefire” or “peace agreement,” because this would push him even further away from achieving his goal, the destruction of Ukraine as a nation by any means.
Not to mention that Russia would never agree to any “peace agreement” with such “guarantees”: for years it has openly stated that it will not accept the presence of Ukrainian allies’ troops in Ukraine, which is entirely understandable, since this would pose a serious obstacle to Putin’s dream of annihilating our country.
Russia must be compelled to peace now, and its economic and military capacity to wage war must be destroyed now, not “someday” or “somehow,” while Ukraine is the one standing and fighting -- not later, when once again people in suits will have to awkwardly explain that yet another set of “security assurances” had no “binding force” and that “escalation must be avoided” and “restraint must be shown.”
Everyone should see this right now. A baby being pulled out of a passenger train in Ukraine. Civilians purposefully targeted. This is sick. A friend of mine on the train just sent me this harrowing footage.
Un pas sans doute décisif vers une victoire totale et sans appel de la Sainte Russie sur les forces judéo-bandéro-turbo-nazies de Kiev : au petit matin à Lviv, un drone a touché un jardin d’enfants situé juste à côté de la statue de Stepan Bandera. Cette opération minutieusement préparée depuis de longues semaines marque un véritable succès militaire et stratégique dont le Kremlin peut se féliciter.

Réponse de la France à Sergueï Lavrov, au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU:
"Quand la Russie se targue de tirer un missile balistique à capacité d’emport nucléaire, sur Lviv, à 50km de la frontière polonaise, quel Etat constitue réellement un obstacle à la paix ?"
Le ministre des Affaires étrangères russe, Sergueï Lavrov, a récemment accusé l'Europe de faire obstacle à la paix en Ukraine.
Le représentant de la France au Conseil de sécurité, l'ambassadeur Jérôme Bonnafont, a répondu ainsi, le 12 janvier:
"Quand la Russie se targue de tirer un missile balistique à capacité d’emport nucléaire, sur Lviv, à 50km de la frontière polonaise, quel Etat constitue réellement un obstacle à la paix ? D’autant que la Russie a affirmé le faire en réponse à une prétendue attaque ukrainienne sur une résidence présidentielle russe, prétendue attaque dont nous savons tous qu’elle est une grossière mise en scène russe pour saper le processus de paix au moment où il s’agit pour elle, la Russie, de répondre à une proposition patiemment élaborée par les médiateurs américains.
Quand la Russie bombarde sciemment le réseau d’électricité, de chauffage et d’eau courante des grandes villes ukrainiennes au mépris des conventions de Genève, quel Etat constitue réellement un obstacle à la paix ? Ces frappes provoquent une situation humanitaire dramatique pour des centaines de milliers de civils confrontés à des températures glaciales.
Quand les frappes touchent l’ambassade du Qatar en Ukraine, au mépris de la convention de Vienne et quand les drones russes attaquent les navires céréaliers à Odessa, mettant en péril la sécurité alimentaire mondiale, quel Etat constitue réellement un obstacle à la paix ?
C’est la Russie qui, il y a presque quatre ans, a lancé une guerre d’agression contre un Etat souverain, en violation de la Charte des Nations unies. C’est la Russie qui, tous les jours, choisit de poursuivre cette agression, alors qu’elle pourrait l’arrêter à tout moment sans préjudice pour sa propre sécurité. Les tentatives de la Russie pour inverser cette réalité ne sauraient tromper ce Conseil, pas plus que la communauté internationale."

Ce que j’aime beaucoup en Ukraine, c’est le flegme des gens après 4 ans de guerre. J’arrive à la boxe ce matin à Lviv et demande : « vous avez entendu le Oreshnik hier ?? ». Réponse : « Ouais. T’as réussi à te garer avec toute cette foutue neige ?? ».
Russia is obliged to do something horrible to restore her credibility. It is very sad that we have to use such kind of arguments. But we have not choice. Only brutality, force, mass destruction and cruelty do matter in Trumplike world. Either you hit first or you are dead.
No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

On “negotiations.” It is important to finally call things by their proper names.
What russia calls a “peace process” is in fact a separate special operation against the West. Its goal is not to end the war, but to force the United States and Europe to pressure Ukraine, while russia continues fighting and preparing for a new phase.
russia has never conducted negotiations as a means of achieving peace. Not in 2014, not in Minsk, not in Istanbul. In every case, “negotiations” were either a way to buy time, a way to legalize what had been seized, or a way to shift responsibility away from itself. For the kremlin, negotiations are not an alternative to war, but another tool of it.
And this is not a “putin invention.” russia’s imperial logic has been documented since the 18th century. The so-called “Testament of Peter I” — a programmatic text of russian expansion — explicitly defined war as the only normal state of the empire. It clearly states: keep the population in a state of continuous war, allow rest only to rebuild the army and finances, use peace to prepare for war, and war to impose peace on one’s own terms.
Poland is addressed as a separate point in this “testament.” Not as a neighbor or partner, but as a state that must be systematically undermined from within. To support constant unrest, bribe elites, influence elections, introduce troops “temporarily,” and, when conditions allow, leave them there permanently. If other European states interfere, they are to be appeased by partially dismembering Poland — only to reclaim those concessions later. This is not metaphor or interpretation; it is a direct imperial instruction.
Thus, from the standpoint of russian imperial doctrine, Poland was never regarded as a sovereign state. It was seen as a space for manipulation, division, and control. That is why today’s kremlin hostility toward Poland — threats, information attacks, and talk of a “Polish threat” — is not emotional or reactive to modern Polish policy. It is a continuation of the same logic.
It is also telling that specific points of this “testament” directly concern Northern Europe and the Baltic region. russia was instructed to systematically provoke Sweden, push it toward war in order to obtain a formal pretext for territorial seizures. The Baltic direction was defined as strategic: access to the Baltic Sea not as defense, but as a mandatory condition for imperial growth. Peace in this region was viewed exclusively as a pause between wars.
The Baltic states and Sweden were never neutral in russian imperial thinking. They were always spaces of future pressure or war. That is why today’s russian military activity in the Baltic Sea, threats toward the Baltic states, and demonstrative actions near Sweden and Finland are not a “reaction to NATO,” but the continuation of a centuries-old behavioral model.
Germany was also explicitly named in the “testament” as a key object of constant interference — as the closest and most important state in Europe. The logic was simple: prevent Germany from becoming an independent center of power, constantly draw it into Europe’s internal conflicts, manipulate elites, and use economic and political ties for control. Today this logic remains unchanged: reliance on dependency, fear of escalation, “special relationships,” and the desire to preserve comfort at any cost. For the kremlin, a weak, hesitant Germany is strategically more valuable than any tank.
The only thing putin has effectively changed in this old “testament” is that he has clearly designated the United Kingdom as his strategic enemy. Where continental Europe was once the main object of imperial maneuvering, today London has become, in russian rhetoric and actions, the symbol of a force the kremlin considers fundamentally hostile — because of its support for Ukraine, its role in European security, and its refusal to trade peace for other people’s territories. That is why russia is waging a separate hybrid war against Britain — informational, subversive, and diplomatic.
Ukraine, in this scheme, is not even the primary addressee. All signals of “readiness for peace” are aimed at the West. The logic is simple: to show that russia is supposedly constructive, and that the war continues only because of Kyiv’s “unconstructive position.” This is a classic information operation shifting blame from the aggressor to the victim.
The key goal of this campaign is to force the West itself to pressure Ukraine — not to negotiate with russia, but to break Kyiv through “realism,” “fatigue,” and fear of escalation. All of this is happening in parallel with the buildup of military potential, including in the northwestern direction.
While the West talks about negotiations, russia is preparing not for peace, but for a prolonged war and the possible expansion of the conflict. This is how a state behaves when it dreams not of compromise, but of restoring an empire — with war as the norm and peace as a pause.
Ukraine is only one stage. If aggression is rewarded here, the war will move on — to where russian imperial doctrine has been looking for centuries. Ukraine’s capitulation under the guise of peace will not bring security to Europe. It will only bring the war closer to the Baltic Sea and make it inevitable.
Any pressure on Ukraine and its leadership from the West means only one thing: russia is successfully continuing its special operation — political and informational. Any Western country or politician who speaks of a “faster peace” at the cost of territorial losses, limitations on sovereignty, or imposed conditions on Ukraine is not acting as a mediator, but as an instrument of this operation. Such a “peace” does not stop the war — it only legalizes aggression and prepares the next one.
