Before the invasion 🇷🇺 concentrated these landing ships in the Black Sea, and the intention was probably to conduct amphibious landings in the direction of Odesa 🇺🇦. That didn’t work, and now the ships one after the other are meeting a different fate.

Dear @LianaFix Fair to criticise Paris for the volume of support to Ukraine, but Macron’s shift since 2023 is genuine, significative, consistent and not driven by domestic politics (lots of criticisms). It is his own candid (and somber) assessment of what is at stake for Europe.

This may be an unpopular opinion as everyone is so excited about Macron. But his new rhetoric, the squabbles with Berlin, are just political games Paris and Berlin are playing about leadership in Europe. There is little in it for Ukraine - or has Macron suddenly doubled support?

The AMX-10 RC is a light panzer hunter with a 105 mm gun, precisely designed against the type of tanks the Russian are now fielding in Ukraine (T-62, T-72), it does not have the armour of a heavy battle-tank but is supposed to compensate with speed and mobility.

Alors que l'Ukraine parvient sans peine à intercepter les missiles hypersoniques Kinzhal, que Poutine lui-même avait présenté comme "invincibles", la Russie annonce se venger de cet affront... en s'en prenant à ses propres scientifiques. Trois d'entre eux ont été emprisonnés.⤵️…

I wrote a long piece on European security. It’s a reflection on themes at Munich—Russia-Ukr & Trump anxieties—and on what it’d take for Europe to be self-sufficient in defence. It also draws from our interview with Boris Pistorius, more on which later.

Finland also brings to the Alliance a deep and balanced understanding of Russia. Its accession is a major strategic failure (of his own making) of President Putin who by invading Ukraine triggered a debate in Helsinki and Stockholm that was moving slowly beforehand 4/

1/5 Why did Macron change its public stance on Russia? A net assessment based on 4 reasons. 1. He was mugged by reality. The fact is that Putin lied to him, proved deaf to attempts to how goodwill, while Russia doubled down on aggression.

Fascinating how Putin in the purest Orwellian style criticises Ukraine for targeting civilians and enlisting the youth. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” As Orwell puts it “he perceived that if you want to keep a secret you must also hide from yourself”.

I believe it is a mistake to approach this as extended deterrence minus. More useful to try to develop a new and expanded role for 🇬🇧 and 🇫🇷 nuclear forces to complement, strengthen, and, in a worse case, fill in for the 🇺🇸 extended deterrent. But it will be quite different.

Btw as you know far better than I, neither the contemporary British nor French deterrents are designed for heavier extended deterrence duty. They’re designed to supplement the core U.S. one. 3/
