Luxembourg PM to US President: You should discuss China's proposed peace plan for Ukraine

It became known about the Luxembourg government's appeal to the US authorities with a proposal not to exclude the possibility of discussing the peace plan submitted by China for Ukraine. The German press writes about it.

The materials say that Xavier Bettel, the Luxembourg premier, turned to the US president with a request for a detailed discussion of the Chinese peace initiative. Moreover, Bettel urges Biden to discuss this plan with its author himself, Chinese President Xi Jinping.



Xavier Bettel:

We understand how little the influence of the Luxembourg government on the presidents, on their opinion, but at the same time, we believe that it would be important for the US president to discuss with President Xi the peace plan proposed by China for Ukraine.

The Prime Minister of Luxembourg frankly makes it clear that if the US authorities agree to this, then the countries of Europe will also support the option of discussing the Chinese peace plan. An unambiguous hint from Bettel that the EU would have already started discussing the PRC plan if there had been a shout from across the ocean that the PRC plan was “unacceptable”.

For all its territorial modesty, Luxembourg is far from being an ordinary European state. This country is one of the centers of the EU banking sector. In tiny Luxembourg, there are more than 130 banks with a capitalization of hundreds of billions of euros. It is noteworthy that from the beginning of the 2010s, Luxembourg began to actively accumulate funds in Chinese yuan. To date, according to experts, there are at least 500 billion yuan (more than 67 billion euros). Ten years ago it was an order of magnitude smaller.

Interestingly, due to banking problems in the US and the EU, the shares of most banks in Luxembourg, including Depfa Pfandbrief Bank, which is considered the best bank in the country, seriously sank. But at the same time, it was precisely those banks in which large asset portfolios were placed in the Chinese national currency and other currencies of (non-Western) countries of the world that sank to a lesser extent (and some even showed growth).

    Even the prime minister of a country with an area of ​​​​only 2 km² mustered up the courage and turned to Biden. And Germany, France ... standing in an indecent pose in front of the United States, they helpfully ask: "What do you want?" At the same time, they are ready to run on tsyrla to fulfill any American whim.

      At first I read that the Luxembourg premier demanded to CONDEMN China's peace plan. laughing
      And why be surprised if Europe finances the war in Ukraine from the peace fund? Eurofascists have completely lied.

    There is a question. Why is Luxembourg turning to the US? Like an initiative from below? Or a request from above so as not to lose face? Like, we didn’t want to, but at the request of the people we decided!? What is the peace plan? Ukraine remains? So we recognize the power of the West? Or is it Russia through China asking to end the conflict? Why? The outskirts of Russia is too tough and the oligarchs are suffering losses? The outskirts have not yet asked anyone to mediate in peace negotiations. Do they have stronger eggs? But what about the historical territories of Russia? Or is there a bargain going on? For how many dollars will we give the outskirts? But we have already paid the debt of the USSR for it! She is ours in all respects! And historically! And by the right of succession of Russia to the USSR! And by the right to pay the debt of the Ukrainian SSR! What kind of peace settlement? Only the jurisdiction of Russia over the territory of the outskirts! No Ukraine! Regions only!

    given the size of Luxembourg, they want to position themselves as an anti-war state so that no one touches

    The key question ... Bettel said nothing about this. request
    The fact that this is posted in the open press for the naive electorate ... what lies in the red folders on the tables of prime ministers and presidents is the subject of trade between them for a prize ... but I don’t know what the prize is yet ... Ukraine is a small target for this (this was not disclosed) ... let's still be healthy cynics when evaluating information from the lips of the prime ministers.

      In terms of finances and influence, of course, more. The Prime Minister of Luxembourg undoubtedly receives more than the mayor of Artemovsk.

    Respect to the Prime Minister for a brave attempt...
    But, alas... The states will not even notice this step. Well, it's as if I were walking down the street - and the cat sitting by the garbage dump would urge me to discuss a plan for choosing my further walking route.

    The US Democratic Party represents the interests of international banking capital, one of the centers of which is Luxembourg. He, the prime minister, has the right to tell Biden that it's time and honor to know.
