The French newspaper Liberation said that Russian President Vladimir Putin could no longer win his war on Ukraine;

Because his forces were retreating and his resources dwindling, she called for hastening his defeat in order to silence the cannons, proposing a future of peace for Russia at 7 points.

And the newspaper explained - in an article by journalist Bernard Guetta - that Ukraine, the West and democracy will prevail no matter what Putin does, and whatever war crimes, threats, bombing of cities and violence in Russia's repression, especially since his "partial mobilization" opened a political crisis, and that his allies became wary, and Central Asia was liberated thanks to The swamp he slipped into, his inner circle ragged and torn apart.

In order to turn the page as quickly as possible - according to the author - more weapons and more quickly must be delivered to Ukraine, and lay the foundations for the post-war period because once victory is achieved, Ukraine and its allies will have a choice;

Either you repeat the mistake of the Treaty of Versailles and punish Russia, or you remember the success of the hand extended to Germany in 1947, to incorporate Russia at the forefront of democracies, as it did with Germany.

And because their victory is approaching - as the writer sees - the democracies must now lay the foundations for the post-war period by knowing how to tell the Russians 7 basic things:

Or not

Pay compensation to Ukraine for the lives of all its children who were killed and all of its property that was destroyed.

secondly

The Russians are considered European by virtue of their geography, culture, and history.

Third

Nobody seeks to occupy any inch of Russian land.

Fourthly

The nature of the Russian option is European, not Chinese, and Russia's subordination to China will be harmful to the Russians and the European Union.

V

The longer the aggression against Ukraine continues, the more the Russian Federation tends to split, and this is not in its interest.

Neither the European Union nor the Russians.

Sixthly

Our economies, resources, and capabilities are complementary, but we can build cooperation only on the full recognition of international borders.

Seventh

We know that the Russians are muzzled with oppression, but they aspire to freedom because no one prefers the arbitrariness of power over the security of law.

The writer concluded that to succeed in this bet, we must think of the post-war period in order to be able to build a lasting peace in Europe, but the countries that suffered from the evils of the Soviet Union have a strong temptation to rebuild the wall on the borders of Russia;

Hoping to close the doors to what could be an "evil empire" that is bent on staying so.
