In the French press: New crisis in relations with Russia over former Soviet Ukraine could be a tough test for the 78-year-old US president

The French press is discussing the talks scheduled for Tuesday between the presidents of Russia and the United States. According to the latest information, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden will conduct these negotiations via video link. The main issue to be discussed is the situation in Ukraine.

Let us recall that earlier Vladimir Putin announced Russia's intention to seek legal guarantees from the West that NATO would not expand to the east and that strike complexes and systems would not be deployed near the borders of Russia. The Russian president made it clear that Moscow would not be satisfied with oral promises, since "once the partners already promised not to expand NATO, but did the opposite."

French journalists note that "the presidents will discuss issues of mutual suspicion: Biden - a possible invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine, Putin - the US desire to develop Ukrainian territory militarily against Russia."

In the AFP material, which recalls that Ukraine is a former Soviet republic, it is indicated that today there are enough points of tension between Russia and the United States. This is not only Ukraine, but "it is also Syria, as well as the issue of observance of human rights."

In the French press:

Many analysts doubt that Putin will invade Ukraine because it will inevitably generate international condemnation and likely new sanctions. But some have even darker predictions.

AFP stated that a new crisis in relations with Russia because of "the former Soviet Ukraine could be a severe test for the 78-year-old US president, for his influence." It is recalled that Biden said that no "red lines" were acceptable and that he "would make it as difficult for Russia to invade Ukraine as possible."

At the same time, it is noted that Putin and Biden have story meetings that French reporters consider to be quite constructive. An example is the meeting in Switzerland, after which a number of contacts between Russia and the United States were resumed in various areas, including in the security sphere.

NOTHING oppose the Russian counterattack after the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the LPNR (what the US / West calls "Russia's invasion of Ukraine") neither Biden / US nor the West Will not be able to! Carthage must be destroyed!

[Asad]

And who will restore your Carthage? Who will pay pensions and salaries? And even ATO veterans will have to pay. Russia? Even now, before the conversation between Putin and Biden, the Savings Bank and Gazprom fell by 5%. And what will happen when the embargo with the blockade is installed.

I guess you are wrong. With a change of government to a sane one, Ukrainians are able to put things in order and restore the country themselves. Perhaps with a little help back. The benefits outweigh the costs. And our dispute is now pointless.

[Asad]

I agree, it's too early to argue. But about ,, a small RETURNABLE !!? ,, this is fantastic.

And again I will not argue. Because neither an economist nor a politician. But, I believe, with the change of government and the establishment of normal ties, at the first stage, both small loans and non-governmental loans, the entry of interested Russian business are possible. And then what you like: yourself-yourself-yourself.

Yes, I would like to hear the authentic, as it was called in the foreign media, the dispute between Blinkin and Lavrov, about the Outskirts. I think that Lavrov was restrained and did not utter the famous phrase that we would gladly savor.

I’ll tell you without press centers what will happen (this is one of the options, but the most realistic one): following the negotiations, the United States will join the Minsk format, but ours will present this as a victory for diplomacy, they say, with the participation of the Americans in the negotiations, Kiev will perform the Minsk agreements ... in the end, six months - a year, everything will be repeated in a circle, when ours call for the execution of the Minsk agreements and the United States will say, but no ... it is you Russians who do not fulfill them and they will not care that Russia should not fulfill them, and all the blame will be blamed on our country, and so we come to where we started. We just make one more circle ... (7 years, as that is not enough) ...

And on the red lines and guarantees from the United States to Russia, everything is already clear, Biden said bluntly that Russia would not receive such guarantees.

Apparently you are right on all the points listed by you.

[Nyrobsky]

I believe that the meeting will generally be held behind closed doors and will end with an official one - "The meeting was productive (counterproductive), both sides will continue contacts." Well, what further actions will follow will indicate whether it was possible or not to agree.
It is unlikely that online journalists will be able to observe those shoals that Bidon can learn during a meeting.

But there will be no such country and no debts. )))
But I doubt that even the signed agreement on the non-advancement of NATO to the east will do anything. They will sign and immediately violate. They are not in the first

In any case, the EU has already understood this and does not want to pay debts.

Do we need it all? Taking someone else's is not good? But you cannot give your own, neither give, not forgive. Here is a Ukrop hack said that according to the 1987 census, 200 thousand Ukrainians lived in Siberia and the Far East and came to the conclusion that this is a historical territory of compact residence of Ukrainians, which should be returned. At the same time, I also hooked up the north-eastern regions of Kazakhstan. We do not need such a scale, ours, this is what was donated, drunk on drink, or about ..., after 1917.

I am always amazed at the position when all Westerners talk about the invasion, forgetting the main thing - in what is the only case it can be discussed! After all, Russia can only be prompted to "invade" by an attempt to resolve the issue with the LPNR by force, as was the case in 2008 with Georgia. Why are these utyrk about this silent ?!

[alex neym_2]

Yes, any negotiations between the presidents are a test of two political directions: who will win and who ...

[aszzz888]

According to the latest information, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden will conduct these negotiations via video link.

The main thing is that the baidu should be awakened and reminded of the negotiations. And from a prosony, he may not understand at all with whom, and what to talk about.

French press discusses

What else can the French press discuss? Not the disassembly of "Clown - Napoleon" (Macron vs. Johnson), Ukraine is probably more interesting for the French reader. And here I agree with AFP

... could be a tough test for the 78-year-old president of the United States

For the time being, let's leave the meaning of "Biden's influence", and pay attention to age. Moreover, newspapermen expect the duration of communication up to several hours. For an elderly person, in addition to psychological, great physical activity. Hopefully the condrat won't be enough for Biden and the doctor will be at hand.

as well as the issue of observance of human rights

I take it this is a question of white oppression of blacks in the United States?

In the French press: New crisis in relations with Russia over former Soviet Ukraine could be a tough test for the 78-year-old US president

It is not new, it is permanent.
And the end and edge of this is not visible.
And Ukraine is not former and Soviet, it is ours.
And this must be said clearly and clearly ..
And all those who disagree with this, break their arms and legs.
And then all crises will end quickly. Otherwise, the impudent people cannot be put in their place. They were already stunned by impunity.

A very characteristic quote: the next redivision of the world is coming, and the image of Russia has somewhat whitened after Syria. They decided to cover it up with black: after such a quote, only "Putin wanted to attack, but was scared" will remain in the minds of readers.

[Alexander Kopychev]

Putin and Joe Biden will hold these talks via video link.

Hence about nothing ...

[Fisherman]

Why upset Biden? I handed over the Ruin to Putin - and retirement, a well-deserved pension and a place on the Board of Directors of Rosneft, which is now one of the largest oil suppliers in the United States and which drives all the "forbidden, sanctioned" Venezuelan oil to the United States!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Grandpa Biden says what they want to hear. It is unlikely that he will be able to do something. 78 years old, I would sit at home, babysit my grandchildren .. By the next elections he would have to buy a gurney. Age..

[Siegfried]

if the negotiations go badly for Russia, Peskov could say something straightforward, like - “According to our data, the United States and Great Britain are actively calling Kiev for military aggression against the DPR and LPR in order to force Russia to intercede for the inhabitants of these republics. The United States intends to impose sanctions, which they want to restrain the economic development of the Russian Federation. Along the way, damage the European economy, European business with Russia. Europe will be forced to buy LNG from the United States at appropriate prices. In addition, the United States wants to unleash a new Cold War against Russia, so that again to become an indispensable defender of Europe, which will be forced to buy American weapons. This is the gift the United States is preparing for the Europeans.

[Asad]

The Cold War never stopped.
