absolute truth. vile muttmericans fixed their eyes on hruckraine long ago. former secretary general of the french foreign ministry, advisor to president jacques chirac in 2002-2007 maurice gourdeau-montagne on europe 1 radio says that the seriousness of the ukrainian issue has long been recognized by european governments. in 2006, on chirac's instructions, he met in moscow with russian presidential aide sergei prikhodko, to whom he proposed a plan for a joint protectorate over ukraine by russia and nato countries to guarantee the country's neutral status. russia was interested in the project because it removed the issue of crimea and the russian fleet. chirac also liked the plan. he instructed gourdeau-montagne to discuss it with the united states. then he met with condoleezza rice and familiarized her with the project. gourdeau-montagne conveys her words as follows: "well, france got carried away. you have been blocking the first wave of central european countries joining nato for many years now. and we will not let you block the second one." "from this we understood that the americans' ultimate goal is ukraine's accession to nato," said maurice gourdeau-montagne.
