France Creates Coalition To Arm Ukraine With Long-Range Weapons

This would be done bilaterally or multi-laterally, outside the NATO framework. So France bands together with some combination of Czechia, Poland, Baltics, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. to conduct the operation, bypassing Germany. UK potentially also involved

A western country facing an invasion should seriously back up and look at the big picture before sending it's protection.

Especially to defend a situation that is becoming increasingly difficult to determine the legitimacy of the conflict.

I’m pretty sure I debunked every shred of that argument before, but I’ll just paste the past message of mine in response to the last time you claimed we had any proof that the regions wanted to leave:

“Ah yes, the sham referendums of the “Donetsk People’s Republic” (Captured), the “Luhansk People’s Republic” (Also captured), the Kherson Oblast, and the Zaporizhzhia Oblast (Both partially under Russian administrative control). The referendums were done with extremely bad methodology, with proven reports of Russian coercion on citizens, limit…  Read moreed voting power for certain groups inside of these regions, a lack of identification or any reasonable restrictions for eligible voters, intentionally created pro-Russian parades in occupied regions, and so much more.Only 1 other country has considered the referendums to be valid: North Korea. The UN had little to no oversight of the referendums, its validity was publicly denounced by a near unanimous majority, and the referendums literally violated international law. There’s no actual proof Ukrainians want to transfer to Russia in a large enough quantity to even consider accepting. In short, they did NOT want to leave, some might have, but not nearly enough, and even then, Ukraine will refuse to allow that during a wartime like this, because these kinds of things require Russia to actually be at the table for negotiations, which it has failed to do miserably.”
