France President Emmanuel Macron rejected Russia's peace proposals for Ukraine as a "surrender," speaking at a video conference of the so-called "coalition of the willing." He plans to confront Trump at White House Monday.

Macron emphasized that there can be no discussion of territorial issues without "democratically elected leaders" in Kyiv and that any solution is linked to Western security guarantees — including funding and maintaining the Ukrainian military.

What he seems to not understand is that there hasn't been a legitimate election in Ukraine for years.  That government invoked Emergency Powers and stayed in-office beyond the expiration date of their elected term. 

While the Ukraine Constitution allows the legislature (Verkhovna Rada) to remain in power during such emergencies, it does not specify that a President can remain.  Ergo, Zelensky cannot be Ukraine President because his term of Office Expired in May, 2024.

Macron stated that the Ukrainian military itself is the "first pillar" of such guarantees. 

Macron flatly refuses to acknowledge that the Ukraine Army is within 60-90 days of collapse. Sooner if the U.S> pulls-out for Ukraine's failure to make peace.

"The second pillar," Macron added, is the deployment of Western troops within Ukraine.  This is an absolute non-starter.  The Russians have made it explicitly clear that any foreign troops that enter Ukraine, will be legitimate targets for the Russia Army. 

According to Macron, several countries are ready to send forces for training, logistics, and presence in "non-frontline" zones, and the US will be asked to join.  If France or any other country sends troops on its own, the Russians will likely kill them.   It does not matter to the Russians if those foreign troops CLAIM to be doing certain non-combatant tasks; the West has long ago lost all credibility over the Ukraine issue, lying and deliberately deceiving Russia numerous times in the past.

It seems certain to many Russians that if any foreign troops are somehow permitted to enter Ukraine, it would be only a matter of hours before those troops were firing upon Russian soldiers.  "The West cannot be trusted" says the average Russian citizen.

Given the fact that it was the then-President of France, Francois Hollande, who attended the Minsk peace conference in 2014, then later admitted he did so as a "ruse to buy time for Ukraine to arm for war" any words that come out of another French President's mouth "promising" anything, are simply not believable.

Tomorrow could see severe rhetorical fireworks at the White House when Zelensky and his war-mongering pals from Europe, get told what the reality is going to be.

Ukraine must accept all of Russia's terms for peace or the Russians will not make peace.  The West is outmanned out-gunned, and cannot manufacture enough weapons fast enough to prevent the Collapse of the Ukraine Army.

The Ukraine war is over; either by a peace accord, or, two to three months from now, when Ukraine is simply over-run by the Russians. 

Short of the West actually entering combat (and thereby starting nuclear World War 3) there is NOTHING that can be done to save Ukraine from a Russian-imposed peace.
