Macron Preaches Reality Check: Putin’s War Isn’t Going Away
In a candid address to the people of Cesson‑Sévigné, President Emmanuel Macron slammed the buzz that the war in Ukraine might be over any time soon.
“Let us not delude ourselves” – the key message
“This conflict will not end tomorrow or the day after,” he warned, echoing the sentiment that no one of any political persuasion can safely ignore the reality of the situation.
Why the talk matters now
- The war marks its third anniversary on 24 February, after nearly three years of bloodshed.
- Former US President Donald Trump once claimed he could end the war “in 24 hours,” a claim that left many laughing (or rolling their eyes).
- Macron stresses the importance of backing Ukraine, both militarily and politically, so the country can continue to stand strong and negotiate from a position of power.
What Macron wants – and why it matters
He calls on the world to keep providing Ukraine with the means to endure the ordeal and to take the reins of peace talks when the time comes. In short: the fight continues, and the sooner we get it over with depends on how well we support those on the frontlines.
Final Thought
If the world takes this message seriously, there’ll be little room for “everything will be fine in a week” rhetoric. The war is real, the stakes are high, and the hope is that we help Ukraine get the strength it needs to see this thing through.

Ukraine’s Long‑Range Drone Drops a Bomb on a Russian Aircraft Plant
Imagine a sky‑shaped fireworks show, but instead of fireworks it’s a squad of ultra‑speedy, stealthy drones crashing into a Russian aviation factory. Ukrainian forces launched a wave of long‑range kamikaze drones that struck the plant, blowing a massive hole in Russia’s defense industrial base.
Macron the “Europe‑First” Commander
- “No peace in Europe without Europeans!” – President Emmanuel Macron fires a rally‑cry.
- He’s urging the French government and armed forces to “gear up” a new reserve of eager young volunteers.
- He plans to revamp the Defense & Citizenship Day – a one‑day program that now obliges every citizen to participate.
- Goal: build a European army that can take matters into its own hands, rather than relying solely on NATO.
Lammy’s “Putin’s Pointless Path” Gush in the House
Foreign Secretary David Lammy didn’t hold back. In the House of Commons he mocked Vladimir Putin with a stern, almost theatrical tirade:
- “It would take a century to conquer Ukraine,” he declared.
- He highlighted the staggering Russian casualties – the highest since World War II.
- According to him, the invasion devastated the Russian economy, forced many to flee, and forced companies to lay off staff.
- Lammy underlined Putin’s strategic failure and warned that winning the war would seriously undermine post‑war borders.
Where Politics, Swiftness, and Satire Meet
With drones diving in at 600 miles per hour, the EU’s leaders are taking robotic firepower seriously. Simultaneously, British officials are pouring out sharp criticism of the Kremlin – all while European citizens are encouraged to grab their hard hats and join the defense line.
