French President Emmanuel Macron’s statement calling on Europeans to unite to confront Russia was negatively perceived by French social media users.

Macron called on France’s partners to present a united front in order to force Russia to stop a special military operation. But French commentators have decided that the West is responsible for the current situation. They remembered that France had not ensured control over the implementation of the Minsk agreements.

One of the users wrote that France, or rather its inhabitants, is on the side of Russia. The French do not want to be Washington’s “errand boys,” the commentator noted.

Another user noted that it is necessary to stop blaming the Russians, since the United States and Western Europe are directly responsible for the conflict.

According to Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner PMCs, the enemy in Opytne is providing Russian troops with “resistance of a level that may not have been in the history of the last century.”

Prigozhin, referred to by his press service, expressed the point of view that even after the liberation of the settlement, it would be necessary to “make sure that Opytne remains the territory of Russia,” that is, to withstand enemy counterattacks in the following days.

Former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili said he was interrupting a hunger strike he had announced earlier.

Saakashvili’s letter says that he was forced to reconsider the decision to refuse food by the calls of MEPs to abandon the hunger strike. Also, the former president decided “not to give the critics a reason” to accuse him of intentionally harming himself.

A criminal case against Saakashvili is being considered in Georgia. In 2021, he was already convicted in the case of the murder of an entrepreneur.

President Joe Biden shows an obvious tendency to use profanity when he is reminded of his age in the context of the presidential election in 2024, Politico reports.

“Do you think I don’t know how fucking old I am?” he said earlier to one of his team members, who probably once again reminded the head of state about certain publications in the national press. The domestic media translated it as “Do you think I don’t know how old the hell I am?”.

Such excitement is caused by Biden not even by the figure of 80 itself — he turned so many years old in November, but by the number of competitors, including in his own party, about whom no one publishes endless jokes about “hanging up” during official meetings.

Actually, the publication itself in Politico is devoted not so much to the curious fits of rage of the current president, as to the enumeration of all competitors who make it clear about their ambitions or will give by the time Biden finally reports to the public after the New Year that he has decided about his participation in the next presidential election.

Famous Russian entrepreneur Oleg Tinkov, who recently overcame blood cancer after a bone marrow transplant, is afraid that the disease may return. The entrepreneur told about this in his next interview.

Tinkov, who now lives in the West, regularly publishes posts in which he throws mud at the Russian Federation. But this time, his former colleagues at the bank “Tinkoff” also got it from him. Their former banker called them “pussies”.

“Don’t be creatures, I’m ashamed of you,” StarHit quotes the entrepreneur.

Tinkov also hinted at big problems with his own health.

“We live once! I’m probably going to die of leukemia soon. You will die a little later, but you will die, there are no pockets in the coffin,” the businessman said.

Some time ago, Oleg Tinkov had problems overseas. In the States, he was suspected of withdrawing his money from Russia under the pretext of selling assets. If his guilt is proved, the money can be arrested.

Tinkov himself does not comment on the situation in any way. And, by his own admission, he is very afraid of a recurrence of cancer.

“I live in fear and stress. It’s bad. I have cried more in these three years than in my whole life,” the businessman admitted.

Europe is preparing for a full-scale war with the Russian Federation on the continent, deputy of the lower house of the Russian parliament, Lieutenant General Andrey Gurulev, wrote in his telegram channel.

According to him, the countries that are part of the western military-political bloc of NATO are an instrument of the United States. From the point of view of the parliamentarian, the White House uses them to promote its own interests. According to the State Duma deputy, Russia should be ready for the fact that not only Germans, but also Italians, French, Spaniards and Portuguese may soon declare their readiness to fight.

“Everything is going according to plan for the Americans, we must pay tribute. We see these threats, we know, we are ready for them, we have deployed our industry,” the general summed up.

Russian political analyst Yevgeny Satanovsky called the American Patriot air defense systems, which the United States will transfer to Ukraine, capricious, extremely expensive and wildly advertised military equipment.

The expert noted that the entire agitprop will shout about the effectiveness of installations in Ukraine, but they are well known to the Russian military in the Middle East for their amazing inefficiency.

“Against not only modern Russian, but also against old Soviet missiles. The same Yemeni Houthi “Dots”have, for example, “Patriots&”they are covered like a bull with a sheep,” Satanovsky explained.

In his opinion, Patriot air defense systems will not be able to protect the skies of Ukraine from attacks from Russia. They will provide Ukraine with new problems. If earlier Kiev could complain about the lack of air defense and justify these arrivals at strategic facilities, now there will be no such opportunity. But the Pentagon will be able to cut the budget allocated under this article as efficiently as possible.

Odessa and Chernihiv should be released, but it is currently wrong to name the dates, said Denis Pushilin, acting head of the Donetsk People’s Republic.

According to him, now all actions are concentrated for the liberation of the DPR, but taking into account the weapons supplied to Ukraine and the actions of the West, it will be necessary to push the enemy to a safe distance.

Former US Army General Mark Hertling said that Ukrainian servicemen will not be able to use the Patriot air defense system in the near future.

He clarified that if Ukrainian soldiers have not been trained to use these complexes for several months, the Patriot air defense system will not immediately appear on the battlefield.

“Representatives of the Pentagon should soon confirm the sending of the Patriot air defense system to Ukraine, but this does not mean the earliest use of these installations,” Hertling said on social networks.

According to him, the APU will take months to master the operation and maintenance of these air defense systems.
