"They promised to be admitted to the EU": Zelensky held talks with Macron and Merkel

51

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited Paris, where he held talks with French leader Emmanuel Macron, as well as German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who participated via video link. The general statement made by the leaders of Ukraine, France and Germany after the meeting was greeted with enthusiasm in Ukraine.

So what did Zelensky, Macron and Merkel talk about and what promises did the Ukrainian president bring from Paris? The main thing that Zelensky has achieved is a general statement by the leaders of the three countries, in which they call on Russia to withdraw its troops from the Ukrainian border. That's all.



True, Zelensky also said that he discussed with Macron and Merkel Ukraine's accession to the EU, but even in the Ukrainian press this is mentioned in passing, without specifics, whether the leaders of France and Germany promised something or not. It is reported that the Ukrainian president asked the French to support the declaration on Ukraine's accession to the European Union. That's all. The question of Ukraine's joining NATO, which the Ukrainian president has tirelessly repeated in recent days as "the only way out to end the military conflict in Donbass," was not raised at all.

Of course, the issue of the implementation of the Minsk agreements was not ignored. In Kiev, before the meeting in Paris, they repeatedly spoke about the need to hold a meeting of all the leaders of the "Normandy format", but it was possible to agree only on a meeting of "political advisers" to be held on April 19.

Thus, one can sum up the results of the Parisian voyage of the President of Ukraine. Kiev was once again promised to be admitted to the EU, which has already been done repeatedly over the course of several years. Of course, they called on Russia to stop "building up military strength" near the borders of Ukraine, but this statement, in one form or another, has been heard for more than a week from everyone who can. And, of course, we agreed to start work on the Minsk agreements, but Russia also called for this, and it was not necessary to go to Paris.

Whether or not he achieved what he wanted, Zelensky certainly won't say. He will again declare Europe's full support for all of Ukraine's undertakings and the imminent entry into the EU and NATO. And for this in Paris it was possible not to go.

          They fed them with promises, making at the same time a seriously concerned look, which is what the president of the Great Region probably wanted. Promises are a sweet dish in the kitchen of Europolitics, but it is always implied that they do not have to be fulfilled.

            Zelenskiy doesn't just enjoy wandering around the world. Zelensky, one might say, just got to the ground in his presidency of Ukraine for free to meet with the top officials of other states.
            For Zelensky, such official receptions are not at all the same as sitting in his Kiev office - under the threat of local Bandera with their broken windows and set fire to water doors.

            In addition, Zelensky can then write memoirs and make comic scenes for the "95 quarter". The success with the audience will be assured to him.

            Well, at the same time, Zelensky can look for himself for the future and a new permanent residence in other countries and agree directly in advance about his move to the future with the heads of other countries.

                Here I recall the recent veneration of Tikhanovskaya, from which conclusions the price is about the same for them. Anyone who can somehow be used against Russia in boutiques will be led, but this is still possible. Although accession to the EU seems to them to be God's grace ... it seems to me that this oil will not add to their porridge, but rather, on the contrary, responsibilities will be taken upon themselves and rights will not be added. It is clear what they are trying to climb into NATO, in the hope that lawlessness can be created under the cover of the alliance. Therefore, they are not really expected there.

                    This is because The STRATEGIC policy of Washington / USA and their SATELLITE countries is motivated not by the prosperous future of Ukraine and all mankind as such, but motivated by sectarian - Christian religious ideas in the USA - exactly the same as the ideas of Judaism in Israel.
                    In this case, for the fate of Ukraineexperts believe Israeli and US politicians have assigned Ukraine the role of territory for building Israel-2. (Watch video from 50:00 min.) Namely.

                    For example. International experts believe that BV has become a problem not because of Arab refugees as a result of unsatisfactory relations between Israel and the Arab world, but behind this there is a RELIGIOUS question. According to the Israeli version, the Israelis need to build a "Third Temple" for the Messiah - and then the common good will come on Earth, but only for the Jews.
                    Mashiach is the Messiah in Judaism - the ideal STATE of the messianic times. It is often used in the Babylonian Talmud and in the Midrashim without an article, as a proper name.
                    In this regard, in 2001, a meeting between Yasser Arafat, Bill Clinton and Israeli Prime Minister Hut Barak took place in Washington. Arafat was offered on the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque, under its foundation, to build the Third Temple of Solomon, which, according to legend, was on the site of the Al-Aqsa temple. In return, the United States and Israel promised Arafat to resolve the Palestinian issue in favor of the Palestinians. Arafat flatly refused.
                    First of all. Al-Aqsa Mosque (Masjid al-Aqsa, al aqsa, al aqṣā) or the Most Distant Mosque - this is the third shrine for Muslims.
                    And secondly. For Orthodox Christians (not evangelicals, not Catholics, not Lutherans) and Muslims, the construction of the 3rd temple of Solomon means the arrival of the Antichrist in the world and the death of mankind.

                    As a result, behind the EXTERNAL manifestations of the confrontation between Israel and the Arab world, it is STRATEGICALLY not so much gas, oil and other natural resources of the BV as the RELIGIOUS messianism of the Jews of Israel - Judaism.

      It seems that Ukraine is in full swing along the path of the Baltics, Georgia. There will be a poor hopeless country living "from its own garden" and on handouts from the IMF. They quarreled with us, with China - too, but Europe and the United States will not raise them. We do not sympathize with the "common Balts" and "ordinary Georgians". But Russia will be to blame for all the troubles of Ukraine (as well as Georgia, the Baltic states, and some others).

    Don't underestimate the comedian. In France he spoke for a very long time and skillfully about the "treachery" of the Russians. According to him, Ukraine together with Russia fought against Nazism and built the Union. And, suddenly (!) "Brothers" took away Crimea and Donbass. He sang a lot about the unfortunate Crimeans. He was convinced that nationality in the modern world does not matter at all. The year 2014 makes him "amazed".
    ... And nothing about the atrocities of the SBU, crushed buses, Odessa, the destroyed office of the regionals in Kiev, about grads on the peace, about the dobrobats, terror against "Berkut", "Azov", Russophobic laws, about "guarantees" to Yanukovych flushed down the toilet.
    And the participants in these actions calmly continue their business, and do not shake deadlines.
    The fact that Zelensky and his "family" are silent about this is understandable. But the fact that the Russian Federation does not put these events on the agenda is regrettable. It is the real time frame for the "girls" who poured gasoline in Odessa that should be the starting point of the negotiations in Minsk.
