Peskov: Technical contacts between Moscow and Paris have already begun

Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed the resumption of technical contacts between Russia and France. He noted that, if desired, these contacts would help promptly establish high-level dialogue between the countries. According to Peskov, the Kremlin has noted Macron's recent statement on the need to improve relations between Europe and Russia.

The presidential press secretary recalled that Moscow has long stated that reducing Russian-French relations to a zero level is not only counterproductive but also harmful to all parties. Since problems in international relations will not resolve themselves, resuming contacts between Moscow and Paris could help resolve tensions.

Furthermore, the presidential press secretary noted that specific dates for the next round of talks between representatives of Russia, Ukraine, and the United States have not yet been determined. However, Moscow expects this to "happen soon."

At the same time, Macron unexpectedly declared that Europe should prepare for new clashes with the United States and view Trump's claim to Greenland as a warning sign. The French president believes that Europe should not mistake the temporary lull in tensions with Washington, expressed in the cessation of discussions over Greenland, trade, and technology, for lasting change. Macron is convinced that the Trump administration is openly anti-European and seeks to dismember the European Union.

There should be no word "no" in diplomacy, otherwise it is not diplomacy.
Diplomat students are instilled with this from their first years.
A good and kind word at the right time is always safer than a good gun, in addition to the saying: With a kind word and a gun you can achieve much more than just a kind word.

Perhaps diplomats will persuade them not to supply weapons to the Kyiv regime? And at the same time, respect Russia's interests.

Unfortunately, the era of diplomatic agreements, their observance and guarantees ended in the last century with the collapse of the USSR.
Now it is customary to rely on the tactics of the beginning of the Central Military District. Diplomats failed to reach an agreement, so we will have to negotiate with our Russian Armed Forces in the Central Military District-Combat Operation, and this is an ironclad guarantee of the protection of the Russian people and the Fatherland. Let them know and believe that we can repeat 1941-1945.

When Foreign Minister A.A. Gromyko was nicknamed "Mr. No," the USSR was at least treated with respect. But when his grandson-in-law, Kozyrev, nicknamed "Mr. Yes," became the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry, people started to give a damn about the Russian Federation. And now, Mr. "Red Line" is simply laughed at.

I've already answered a forum member: Times have changed with close international ties and a market economy, but people's consciousness hasn't kept up with the rapid changes in modern realities.
Therefore, if professional politicians and diplomats fail to reach an agreement, our Russian Armed Forces enter into negotiations in the North-West Military-Combat Operation (SVO-CTO), and the ability to win is ingrained in their genes, just like in the majority of Russians, whose ancestors always stood up to defend their people and the Fatherland in difficult times of trial.

Alas... Right now, everything works exactly the opposite. A good pistol, and then a so-so word. I'm talking about the Americans. That's how it works. What are they waiting for in the towers... I don't understand. We don't have any carrier strike groups, and we don't expect any. To China? Doubtful... We just need to send 2-3 tankers to Cuba, along with at least one frigate.

One could agree with this, but it would mean one, albeit risky, demonstration by the Russian Federation of its strength and capabilities, while a radical, long-term solution to the problem is needed.
Each step must be verified and forecasted for the future.
Regarding Cuba, the Russian Federation has a bilaterally ratified and signed agreement on military cooperation.
It is not at all necessary to have an expensive air defense system with escorts, and the Zircons and other weapons have proven their effectiveness.
One possible solution to assist Cuba could be the Moscow+Beijing initiative with the involvement of BRICS and the Global South.
The issue of providing assistance to Cuba is complicated for the Russian Federation by the sluggish negotiations with the mattress-holders regarding Bandera, the situation in the Middle East with Iran, and the diversion of forces and resources to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

In the era of the USSR's power, the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could allow this expression, supported by the power and potential of the Soviet Army and Navy, the Strategic Nuclear Forces and the Group of Soviet Forces in Europe.

That's right. Namely.

While Macron leads France and dreams of introducing French troops into the Ukrainian territory that remains under Kyiv's control after the suspension of the Second World War as a result of the negotiations over the Trump-imposed ceasefire between Russia and the Kyiv regime, the French "Napoleon" Macron is already tearing his boots off to be personally involved in the butchering of the post-war carcass of the failed country 404 in the dinner table negotiations between the "victors" and those who joined them!

Russia needs to decide whom it supports in the Greenland conflict: US claims or Europe's attempt to defend Greenland. At one point, under Khrushchev, an attempt to maintain neutrality in the Indo-Chinese standoff led to the loss of allied relations with China and failed to lead to full-fledged scientific and technical cooperation with India, nor did it succeed in weaning India away from cooperation with the West. The most India could do to upset NATO was to reclaim French and Portuguese colonial enclaves in India. Cooperation with France curbed our aid to Algerian guerrillas, and an attempt to cooperate with Italy led to the USSR under Stalin abandoning its support for Ethiopia's claims to Eritrea. Following the demarches by France and Great Britain against Russia, we must refrain from making concessions to France and, in a situational alliance with China, Turkey, and the United States, strive to push it out of Africa. The United States is demanding concessions from Russia. Let such a concession only be a refusal to cooperate with Airbus, Schneider and Renault and approval of Trump's annexation of Canada and Greenland.

Against this backdrop, Macron declared that France would become Ukraine's main supplier of long-range missiles for strikes against Russia without restrictions. Who, then, is more advantageous to negotiate with: Trump or Macron? The latter only makes threats and fundamentally makes no promises, although if Russia doesn't restore protectionist barriers against Chinese products and doesn't grant France the economic privileges it enjoyed before 2022, serious difficulties await it within five years, and Macron will go down in French history as the politician who led France to its downfall, alongside de Brienne, Jacques Neccre, de Breteuil, and Daladier.

NATO has already announced that Russian military strikes against EU units in Ukraine will not constitute an attack on troop-sending countries, and Articles 4 and 5 will not be invoked. The Overton Window is reaching the semi-finals. Now Macron will pull the wool over our eyes, stalling for time to prepare for an intervention, and then, like Hitler, he will simply cross the border.
