Speaking in favor of security guarantees for Russia and Ukraine -- as Macron has done -- is useful, but won't stop the proxy war against Russia.

Dec. 20—Russian President Vladimir Putin made public yesterday that Russia will agree to train Belarus’s air force in the delivery of Russian nuclear weapons. He made the point that “this form of cooperation is not our invention… The US, for example, has been carrying out similar measures with their NATO allies for decades.” And now, “such coordinated measures are exceptionally important due to the tense situation on the external border” of Russia and Belarus.
