French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Melanchon called to allow the French to enter into negotiations on Ukraine: we must speak directly and openly about the solution to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We French, having invaded our neighbor four times, will never accept that someone can invade another country to solve political problems. But I want to say to those who consider themselves extremely wise and leading us: we do not agree that they allowed peace negotiations to begin without the participation of representatives of European countries. We do not agree that the demand for a mutual security guarantee has been abandoned - not only between Ukraine and Russia, but also between all European countries and Russia. We also do not agree that the possibility of making peace at the price of territorial concessions on the part of Ukraine is allowed, while the residents of the affected areas are not even asked if they want to be on one side of the border or the other. Only the people themselves have the right to decide what they want.
