i mean, it was forced on him by macklin on in 2014 to end the fighting that was going on its own bass. and to that extent it works and so much to fight and die down. it's just been a sort of frozen conflict. although people keep dying, but it wasn't a hot conflict in the way that it was. i mean, it was, you know, proper open warfare in those days. now it's just this frozen company. so it's sort of lose lose situation with minutes to that. it helps bring the fighting down, but at the same time it doesn't. it's not an appealing solution. so here that they don't want to do it. and moreover, people and can't say that should zelinski try and push it through. there would be mass process and i was also kill his own kind of career. he's facing action this year. and it's a political suicide to try and push that through. so it's really a bad deal. but as i said, it was the only thing on the table that was the solution, the peaceful solution. because unless he's rolled out and i think quite understandably, but then persons reacted because the decision is pushed and takes it to the next stage, wh

the french president emanuel macklin will be on his way in the coming hours to moscow to meet the russian leader vladimir putin and the german chancellor. as we were hearing the from rose jordan is traveling to washington to meet joe biden. love schultz. his trip is seen as a visit to reassure the bite administration that all nature countries are standing up to russia. i know that death was learned this. russia must know that if there is military aggression against ukraine, that will have a high price. meanwhile, we are paving, awaited, at tools can take place again, there are talks between the us and russia in the nato, russia council window, se, and of course, also in the context that germany in france can bring forward a so called normandy format, where russia, ukraine, france, and germany meet, there was not much life there for a long time. we have managed to get that back on track. and that is now to basis for us also talking to each other in washington with me if he, the pakistani army, how strongly condemned an attack on its soldiers which killed at least 5 of them. they were shot

michelle macklin, i'm done on this. i'm going to walk a better was good. now the my heart will be assigned to developing a lean sean williams on the 2nd shelf was it was open. also the after 90 was a some on the one common was was use i now that you much and then we'll probably not for russia buffalo to let me go back here this week. she's thomas is keith, i'm on the quote on my you got to not be part of the community. if not i would do some if i was in just 71 percent. no, you shouldn't. it comes up on the surface. you're sure. machinery that about the mormon group isn't company game share wish or some one of the list have been my account. nothing quoted. not maybe i'd fishing for you with a 1000000 annual in ah, this person that i looked at the magazine. none. there was just that girl of jonah, largest joyous good mustang by that's our name for this to, for that good. that my position. letter to letter miller than the chef on the 5th edition. we were fit. my mom did that, a little book and we got books. name was my awesome. i'm a gas was on top of that.

there is a place for natural gas and it pitts to on the one side, the french government of president macklin, who says that there is this place for nuclear energy because it can be managed in small modular areas where the waste product can safely be stored and managed, and then the german side of things which and others remember states to say natural gas is an answer. so in one sense, there is an argument that there is a little bit of what they want in this for everybody. and yet they are, i'm in the states, such as the austrians who was so incensed by this judgement. they say they're considering legal action because they don't believe nuclear power has a place. the interesting thing here in a sense of how can this be stopped if somebody wanted to, there are only 2 obvious routes. the 1st is if 20 member states out of the 27 e. u. member states were to flatly say no. the 2nd one would be if a majority of the european parliament were to say no, well, we know that the green party has considerable representation in the european parliament. so it is going to be worth watching, how things in brus
