I doubt that Denmark wants Malmö.
I've advocated for a break out city state comprised of Copenhagen and Malmö for years
but realistically, no, you're right

Putin has already made a fool of Macron, both before and during the invasion. Macron has been the most directly engaged with him but it has achieved nothing.Macron Refuses To Call Putin's Actions Genocide; Asserts "Russia-Ukraine Are Brothers"

Yeah but I'm not sure that's Macron's fault. I don't think Putin had any intention of ever cooperating with anyone. Although I'm not familiar with what France's relationship with Russia was like prior to the war.Putin has already made a fool of Macron, both before and during the invasion.

Hmmm.Macron isn’t going to be able to stop the war on his own - if his diplomacy, as well intentioned as it has been, was going to achieve that then it would probably have already happened. If the price of keeping this unproductive line of communication open is for a major European power to obfuscate in its criticism of Russia (including not calling a genocide precisely that), it probably isn’t worth it.

How come?It’s starting to look quite worrying for Transnistria/Moldova now
How come?
If they could easily take Odesa/move across to Moldova, they'd have done it by now. They keep losing materiel trying to launch absurd Incheon-style landing assaults around there - it's partly why they lost Moskva. They lost trying to take Mykolaiv the other week, which they'd need first before moving west, and they're having a lot of trouble just holding Kherson because of local civilian resistance.
(they've also had troops in Transnistria already for about 30 years now...)
Fucks sake.They may well be vetoed by Turkey.
To all intents and purposes they are more or less in anyway via the defence pact both signed with UK this week.They may well be vetoed by Turkey.
Expel Turkey and replace with Finland, Sweden and Cyprus. Win-win.
He'll launch if Ukraine wins Eurovision.
