00:00Returning from a trip to Kif, French Armed Forces Minister Catherine Vautrin praised Ukrainian resilience.
00:07Nearly four years after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and in light of the Russian airstrikes that
00:11weaken the Ukrainian energy system in the middle of winter.
00:14The minister questions the sincerity of the Russians in reaching a peace agreement.
00:19On the train back to Liv, there were still alerts, so it's a reality.
00:25everyday.
00:26So we ask ourselves, do the Russians really want to move towards peace when we
00:34Do you see this situation?
00:35However, I obviously want to emphasize all the efforts being made by the United States with Ukraine to talk
00:45with the Russians.
00:46Europeans must have a seat at the negotiating table for peace in Ukraine.
00:50because they will be present on the day hostilities cease to guarantee security, the minister insisted.
00:57For now, the supply of drone interceptors and missiles is the priority for the Ukrainians, she emphasizes.
01:03The subject is really the battle in the sky.
01:07And that was the first thing President Zelensky asked of me: to be the liaison for the
01:14need for missiles.
01:15At a NATO meeting in Brussels on Thursday, the Pentagon called on Europeans to take charge
01:20their defense without questioning American support.

01:36France is among the most targeted countries, frequently attacked by pro-Russian actors.
01:42To combat disinformation, the French government created a profile on X called French Response, launched in September.
01:502025.
01:51The tale, which employs a provocative, humorous, and ironic tone, has become a real diplomatic tool, according to Pascal Confavreux, carrying
02:00-statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
02:04The affliction was that you cannot win the information war if you do not fight the battle.
02:10It was necessary to raise the bar, to adopt a more assertive stance, with a rapid response to information attacks.
02:18foreign.
02:19We know that individuals are increasingly getting their information through their echo chamber on social networks.
02:44Why would these people, and those particularly vulnerable to misinformation, choose to trust an account managed by
02:52The Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
02:55It's the same bet we're making.
02:57Our first assignment, I remember, was at the very beginning of September 2025; it was to answer an interview.
03:03by Marco Rubio
03:04which was to say that we were responsible for the end of the discussions between Hamas and the UNTAC.
03:08Announcing our willingness to acknowledge that he is not here was simply wrong.
03:13Our first post was, well, this is what happened at what time in the morning, it was the
03:17Breakdown of talks between Hamas and the UN Technical Assistance Committee (TASNU).
03:19And our announcement of recognition took place several hours later.

08:45The Trump administration claims that this conclusion harms industry and the economy.
