Chapter 1: Why is Macron criticizing Trump and Putin's actions in Ukraine?
French President Emmanuel Macron is rallying the free world to help Ukraine and alas, the United States is not included in that. Emmanuel Macron's actually calling out this propaganda farce being perpetuated by Donald Trump and Trump's buddy, Putin. Emmanuel Macron saying, we're not even in serious peace negotiations right now.
We are in a situation where Putin and Trump are essentially trying to carve up Ukraine or trying to help Putin's underlying agenda to take over Ukraine. We're not even having serious discussions. And once we have serious discussions, then we'll be at the table with Ukraine.
But we here in France, we here in Europe, other than Hungary, we here joining with Canada and Australia, we stand by Ukraine when there are serious discussions. We're ready to have a serious ceasefire. President Zelensky of Ukraine has already said an unconditional ceasefire is something that he would agree to. On the other hand, Putin and Donald Trump are out there talking about what?
hosting hockey tournaments and opening up economic channels and economic deals. While it's also being reported, the United States is not even enforcing sanctions really anymore against Russia. Like what the hell is going on? And I'm glad you have Emmanuel Macron calling it out.
Emmanuel Macron posted the following next Thursday in Paris, we will hold a summit of the coalition of volunteers in the presence of president Zelenskyy. Notice who will not be there. The United States. This meeting follows last week's gathering of military chiefs of staff in Paris and today's meeting of operational deputy chiefs in London.
We will finalize our work to support the Ukrainian army and build a sustainable and resilient military model to prevent future Russian invasions. We will also define the security guarantees that European forces can provide to protect peace is what we want. And it's not what Vladimir Putin wants. President Macron posted this as well.
Once again, last night, Russia showed that it sincerely does not want peace. Full support for the Ukrainian people is where France and the rest of Europe and Canada and Australia and elsewhere stand. Sadly, the United States now in an access of evil with Russia and North Korea. It is embarrassing to be here in the United States under this despicable Trump regime.
But we here at the Midas Touch Network stand strongly. with Ukraine and with the free world, not with this authoritarian Trump regime. Let me show you what Emmanuel Macron said when he was asked by reporters about the discussions. I did an AI translation for our English-speaking audiences. Apologize to our French-speaking audiences, but let me play the clip.
more is guaranteed security offered by europe listen first of all today there is no discussion not even about peace today we have a discussion between the united states of america and russia if i am well informed russia invaded ukraine ukraine is not at the table When Ukraine and Russia talk and Russia commits to a lasting ceasefire, we can then see what the security guarantees are.

Chapter 2: How are European countries supporting Ukraine?
You add that to this country, what a beautiful landmass, the most beautiful landmass anywhere in the world. And it was just cut off for whatever reason. It would be great.
Here's Donald Trump in an interview with American state regime media known as Fox spewing Putin's propaganda here about how Putin has encircled the Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region. And as a result, Trump and Putin, they need to carve up Ukraine. so that they could save the Ukrainian forces. Just a bunch of bogus Russian propaganda play this clip. So that's where we are.
And right now, you have a lot of guns pointing at each other. And a ceasefire without going a little bit further would have been tough. Russia has the advantage, as you know. They have encircled about 2,500 soldiers. They are nicely encircled, and that's not good. And we want to get it over with.
By the way, in a strong show of the alliance with Zelensky and French President Emmanuel Macron, there was this moment where Zelensky was addressing the press. He was speaking on video, and then Macron called him. Watch this moment.
So, sorry, Emmanuel, I've just conversation with the journalist. Can I can I be back in 15 to 20 minutes? I say, thank you. Thank you. OK, bye bye. I just spoke with President Macron with Emmanuel. We talk very often. Once a day, I would say, on average. And indeed, we have close, very close relations between our countries. He helps a lot. Ah, I am grateful to him for that.
After our conversation, I will call him back.
Yeah, I love that right there. I mean, by the way, you're seeing as well, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Kjer Starmer, also all about projecting military strength. The message is clear right now. Kjer Starmer goes to the men and women working at home and abroad to secure a just and lasting peace to Ukraine. Thank you. The UK's nuclear deterrent is the cornerstone of our national security.
I'm incredibly proud of everything our submariners do to keep us safe. And that's why I wanted to be there in person to say thank you and welcome you back to our shores. Now you have the nuclear submariners in the United Kingdom also doing missions as well.
And again, no doubt in response, in my view, in response to a projection of strength now by Europe with the weakness and isolation and Putin obsequiousness by Donald Trump and what we're seeing with Russia. Proud of what Canada, Europe, Australia, you know, and others are doing to help Ukraine.
