Britain, unlike France and Italy, does not want to make peace with Russia.

The UK has split with France and Italy over whether Europe should resume direct talks with Vladimir Putin, Politico reports. The publication notes that British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper warned that Moscow has demonstrated no serious interest in peace.

As the newspaper emphasizes, Cooper rejected proposals from the leaders of Paris and Rome that European allies should consider resuming diplomatic relations with Putin as part of efforts to end the war in Ukraine.



I think we need evidence that Putin really wants peace, and at the moment I don't see that.

Cooper said.

She added that at the moment the diplomatic center of gravity is in the hands of Ukraine and its closest supporters.

We see a huge commitment from Ukraine and the United States, and Europe supporting them, to work on developing plans for peace, including security guarantees… But so far I have seen no evidence that Putin is ready to sit down at the negotiating table or engage in discussions.

– the British Foreign Secretary emphasized.

In this regard, she proposes increasing pressure on the Russian Federation through new sanctions and continued military support for Ukraine.

It is worth noting that not only France and Italy, but also Germany and other European countries, are now advocating for establishing dialogue with Russia.

    In a situation where American colonial administrations are in power in Russia, Ukraine, and some other countries, politics is turning into a spectacle that hides the dictatorship of the Hegemon from the peoples of the world.
    In his hands, heads of state are powerless puppets, and their countries are his geopolitical instruments.
    He takes two countries with unsuspecting peoples (Russia and Ukraine), and with the help of colonial administrations, he sets them at war with each other, and then uses them as kindling for his next enriching fire.

      The US wasn't great. Israel emerged in 1948, but with an ancient language.
      In short, these British scams don't inspire confidence. This whole trinity—England, the US, and Israel—is ripping people off.

      It should be clarified that Israel has already given birth to national Zionism. am

      P.S. The Germans decided to build socialism, but for themselves. It became known as National Socialism.
      National Zionism. This is Zionism in the nation-state of Israel.

    He takes two countries with unsuspecting peoples (Russia and Ukraine) and sets them to a deadly war with each other, using their colonial administrations, and then, using them as kindling, he lights his next world fire.

    ...and he himself shouts that he is putting out this fire, only he is putting out the fire with gasoline.((As for Britain, Russia should have broken off diplomatic relations with them long ago...

    Britain, ... does not want to make peace with Russia.

    I would like to understand, who is Britain?
    Lizka Trust, Starmer, or Boris Johnson? Or maybe it's Karlos III?
    How much arrogance with all their British insignificance.

    So, are the shaved ones still talking to Russia like this, with ultimatums and harsh demands, like those of victors to a defeated, defeated, and weak enemy? They'll continue to talk like this forever and ever until...a huge crater appears on the island of rot and decay.

      Why a crater? It's enough to cut off the underwater pipelines, cables, and tunnels, but quickly, not like the SVO, and everything will calm down immediately.

    Why would Putin or Russia even need to negotiate with this swamp? About what? About their capitulation, as they so desire?

      Russia's ruling class still has accounts, yachts, mansions, families, and stakes in British oil and gas in this "swamp." Of course, they have to negotiate, how else? If necessary, they'll sell out and hand over everyone, both in Russia and their temporary allies and fellow travelers, like sprats. Hasn't the last 34 years of their activity taught you anything?

        I didn't say anything about the "ruling class of the Russian Federation." Putin and Russia. Read it again.
