Deal to avoid Ukraine war within reach, says French president – BBC News

Published

on



French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to Russia to meet with President Putin. He has said he thinks a deal to avoid full scale war in Ukraine is possible and that it is legitimate for Russia to raise its own security concerns.

Before talks in Moscow with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday, he called for a “new balance” to protect European states and appease Russia.

Russia has massed troops on Ukraine’s border but denies planning to invade.
Moscow has made a string of demands, including that the Nato defence alliance rule out Ukraine becoming a member, and that it reduce its military presence in eastern Europe.

Western countries have rejected this, instead suggesting other areas of negotiation, for example talks on cutting back nuclear weaponry.

    USA should negotiate with Russia so that they will not continue their aggression for their borders. It's better to have a deal talk rather than continuing given arms to Ukraine because its only move to scalalation. Leaders take pride today that they don't want to give up and talk on the table.

    One question EVERYONE forgets to ask is, or is it too shameful to realize how reluctant west diplomats are to realize what needs to be done to end this war NOW. Lots of CIVILIANS, MOTHERS AND CHILDREN die daily, WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTABLE UNDER DEMOCRATIC LAWS AS THESE LEADERS, THEY THEMSELVES POINT TO Putin. One question lead to another:
    a) Who is REALLY the root cause of Putin taking the next step and invading Ukraine?
    Merkel (Germany) and Macron (France) have entered into an agreement with Putin and then entered TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH HIM, which undermined Zelensky's claims.
    It is clear in some films how satisfied Merkel and Macron are after these agreements. These trade agreements now put the NATO countries in A TERRIBLE DISADVANTAGE. These agreements have also enabled Putin to spend very large sums on building up his military force!
    Merkel has gone SILENT and Macron CONTINUES the LAME attitude which is partly the cause of the war and therefore stimulates Putin to become more aggressive with serious THREATS!
    The withdrawn and cowardly attitude towards Putin can only be perceived as Macron leaning more towards Russia then towards the US and democracy!
    b) Do Merkel and Macron have the training and thus the skills to negotiate?
    Being a politician does NOT mean that it automatically gives a person the qualities to conduct negotiations at ANY LEVEL. Macron has NO QUALITIES AT ALL to negotiate with a MASS MURDERER, DICTATOR AND THIEF.
    History has shown that IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE WITH SUCH TYPES. THEY ARE NOT RELIABLE, which Macron has apparently FORGOTTEN or NEVER LEARNT!
    c) Are there RULES for how persons like Putin should be treated?
    One rule is to NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH A DICTATOR AND A THUG AS A UNDERDOG, of that there are lots of examples shown to be fatal, which the Ukrainian war is ONE EXAMPLE of.
    If you are at a disadvantage, the situation must be CHANGED IMMEDIATELY SO that A SUPERIOR POSITION can give a SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATION STATUS. NONE of EU, UN, NATO and US REPRESENTATIVES have this POSITION TODAY!
    d) Why have NO leaders in the EU, UN, NATO and US created this SUPERIOR status even TODAY?
    This post clearly highlights their problems and what should have been done:

    US is the real problem. They are the one who creates problem for their own personal interest. And act like a hero. They spread fake news all the time and destroy others nation. They are not helping. They are making issues to make them believe that they are helping. Because they don't want other country will be higher than them. US scared that russia might have develope a very good relationship in Europe. Unfortunately, Leaders in europe are all puppets. Like no own opinion and no brain at all. As if Russia is a big threat for them. I can see Russia is a good country. The way the US play is so dirty like evil ! If there's a REAL sanction it should be sanction on US. US REAL TARGET IS CHINA because US debt to china more than $1 trillion. US find their way to Russia. US know that china will always back up Russia. Since the Philippines refused to be their battle ground😎 Ofcourse creating WAR is a business purposes in favor of US. The next target is Ukraine as battle ground. The Ukraine president has no brain. Another puppet will be born as new NATO's member! Welcome to the club 🙂 Putin sending more thousands of russian troops as he is aware about NATO'S MOVEMENTS. Really a genius President ever. If people have no enough knowledge regarding their personal history between ukraine-russia, they will never understand the side of Russian President!

    Putin doesn't want peace, he's looking for a war. This has all the echos of the lead up to World War II with Hitler saying one thing but plans for an invasion already in place. Adolf Putin is another gangster despot, looking for domestic adoration, regardless of how many lives it'll cost.

EU should get out of NATO and make a new block along side Russia which is cultural inclined and geographically viable.This will bring down hegemony of USA and cunning UK.The world will be better place for prosperity by that way.This will also help Russia not to be too much dependent on China..#westiswaste

‘What is the point in reporting?’: London’s street sex work crisis | BBC News

Published

on



Police in London need to move away from criminalising women involved in street sex work in the wake of the disastrous murder case of Simon Levy, officers have told the BBC.

Levy, a convicted sex offender, was left to kill two women and rape another – all of whom were vulnerable and sometimes engaged in street sex work – due to a series of failings, including by the Metropolitan Police.

The BBC was given access to the Met’s new two-officer female team in north London, created in a bid to engage with street sex workers, improve trust, and encourage them to report crimes committed against them.

The team described hearing about endemic levels of male violence against the women they have met.
