Before the London meeting on June 7, Dmytro Kuleba wrote: “The final London Declaration [June 1941] was not about ending a war. It was about uniting those willing to win it and shape the peace that followed. One can only hope today’s meeting is guided by the same logic.”

I’d add one crucial point, because this is a flaw we see all too often.
The russian MFA’s statement came immediately (of course it had been prepared in advance and was unsurprisingly extremely aggressive). Typical.
Our response, which came later, said nothing.
Admittedly, there was nothing to say...
A theory voiced by one of my contacts tonight:
All this talk of discussions with russia being pushed by certain European leaders is just a charade intended for the Americans.
Those leaders aren’t that stupid: they know it would actually lead nowhere and there’s nothing to discuss.
Hope he’s right.
Great new piece by Tenzer.
One snippet:
No blame on the ambassadors, who are facing an impossible task, but this kind of meeting is a masquerade and fool's game.
Reading Zakharova’s statement can only reinforces that conviction.
Let’s not get distracted: the only thing that matters is defeating russia.

Excellente analyse de P. Cohen ce matin : comment les hagiographes de Poutine - “ces patriotes qui paraissent si hostiles à leur patrie” - tentent de peser sur l'élection présidentielle française. @nicolastenzer.bsky.social @nathalieloiseau.bsky.social @jmgermain.bsky.social @deskrussie.bsky.social
Great news, but still to be confirmed.
Orbán had opposed sanctions against Vladimir Gundyayev in 2022.
The way is now clear for this former KGB agent accomplice to crimes against humanity—he had called for a “holy war” (jihad) against Ukrainians—to face sanctions.

In this 178th in-depth essay on my strategic blog, I argue that Europe must define a bold strategy to ensure russia’s full defeat.
While Ukraine can win, now isn't the time to succumb to the dangerous temptation of a botched peace—i.e. the perpetual war.

The impact will be harsh: Ukraine will be producing missiles of all ranges, anti-missile, drones...—more efficiently and at lower cost—dethroning the US defense industry.
A direct/fair consequence of the US abandoning Kyiv since Trump took office (a curtailed aid before).

Écoutez ce Monsieur. Propos précis, optimisme lucide et soutien indéfectible au peuple ukrainien, peuple d'Europe qui assure avec courage et brio, au prix de grandes souffrances, la sécurité de l'🇪🇺 face à l'envahisseur barbare 🇷🇺. Merci M. Tenzer 🙏
