As part of a peace conference, he will then give “Vladimir Putin all the ground he has acquired” since the Russian offensives of 2014 and 2022, “and then he will say to the Europeans: “for the rest, it is up to you to guarantee the security of Ukraine, if you think it necessary, and it is up to you to help Ukraine with its reconstruction,” added the former guest of the Élysée.
In short, “it is not peace that he (Donald Trump) is preparing, it is the capitulation of Ukraine,” he said. “Giving Vladimir Putin the benefit of force against international law would be serious and even unbearable for the Ukrainians,” and would raise fears of “other offensives carried out by Russia in the years to come,” he said. he warned.
