  1. 12:00 @JakeBroe, Let me translate french for you 卢沙野, ambassador of China in France, talking on LCI TV: "These countries, ex-Soviet Union, they do not have... they do not have hum… how to say… an effective status in international law." French television reports the following reactions: - The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs publish: "We have learned with dismay about the words of the Chinese ambassador in France concerning the borders of the countries that became independent after the fall of the Soviet Union." - Edgars Rinkēvičs, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia, says: "The remarks of the Chinese ambassador in France concerning international law and the sovereignty of nations are totally unacceptable. We expect explanations from the Chinese side and a complete retraction of this statement." - Gabrielius Landsbergis, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania: "If anyone is still wondering why the Baltic States do not trust China to negotiate peace in Ukraine, here is a Chinese ambassador saying that Crimea is Russian and that the borders of our countries have no legal basis." - French Ministry of Foreign Affairs declare solidarity with the ex-USSR countries and remind that the annexion of Crimea by Russia in 2014 is illegal with regard to international law. - Several people and associations are asking 卢沙野 to retract his statement. My personal point of view: Clearly, 卢沙野 was not comfortable with the pronunciation of this sentence. However, it is not clear whether he was concerned with the predictable reactions or was struggling with french vocabulary. Listening to this sentence alone, one can think that he meant that the rights of these countries are not fully enforced at the moment (and this is true since Russia does not respect them), without any clue about intentions regarding these rights (whether they should be respected or not according to China). In context, however, various statements by diplomats, as well as murders on foreign soil and in international waters and effective annexations of foreign territory (undeclared acts of war), make it very clear that China has no regard for international rights or human rights except when they can benefit its government or reputation.

  2. 25:55 @JakeBroe I hope that you'll realize that asking the Russian civilians to change their current government, without providing them with any weapons to deal with the riot police, the political police, and the snipers of Mr. Putin's personal guard, is more or less asking them to get killed, and very possibly tortured before that. Nationalism is definitely not going to make Ukrainians and Russians work together against the mafia occupying the Kremlin and the churches. The travels of Russians through Europe are almost the only thing that still allows the Russian population to observe the gap between the real Europe and the imaginary Europe presented in the media of their country, and thus to understand the real stakes of this war, and what Russia actually loses by organizing and performing aggressive operations.
