Macron promises to restore Ukraine to its former glory as the French President speaks with Zelensky

French President Emmanuel Macron has promised to help Ukraine restore its “full sovereignty”, in a phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky.

The leaders discussed Russia’s “illegal referendums” and their attempt to annex specific territories of Ukraine.

Macron says a tough, consolidated response was necessary from the international community.

They also discussed the importance of defence support for Ukraine and ways to enhance it.

“The head of the Ukrainian state thanked the President of France for his strong condemnation of the illegal referendums in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions and Russia’s attempts to illegally annex these territories of Ukraine,” Zelensky’s office said.

It follows Ukraine formally requesting an “accelerated” application to join the NATO alliance.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed the number one priority is supporting Ukraine.

“We reiterate our support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine. We do not recognise and will never recognise Russian attempts to annex any Ukrainian territory,” Stoltenberg said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed the West stands for “satanism”.

U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan was quick to shut down the Russian leaders comments.

Is this the next James Bond?

In a huge shift for the iconic James Bond franchise, reports indicate that British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been formally extended an offer to step into the coveted role, succeeding Daniel Craig.

The revelation, as per The Sun, comes amid much anticipation surrounding the future of the long-standing spy thriller series.

Eon Productions, the entity behind the Bond films, appears poised to commence production this year, with Taylor-Johnson seemingly primed to don the mantle of 007.

Sources close to the production suggest that the formal offer has been made, awaiting Taylor-Johnson’s response.

“Should he wish to accept it, Bond is Aaron’s job,” an insider remarked.

The last James Bond actor, Daniel Craig.

“The formal offer is on the table, and they are waiting to hear back. As far as Eon is concerned, Aaron is going to sign his contract in the coming days, and they can start preparing for the big announcement.”

This development follows a period of speculation regarding who would inherit the role, with Taylor-Johnson emerging as a contender alongside other notable actors such as Cillian Murphy, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill, and James Norton.

In response to inquiries about his potential involvement, Taylor-Johnson expressed gratitude, stating, “I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.”

Best Supporting Actor

The actor’s journey to the cusp of the Bond franchise has been marked by a diverse array of roles, including notable performances in films like “Nocturnal Animals,” for which he received a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.

Insiders cite this as evidence of Taylor-Johnson’s suitability for the role, asserting that his talent and range make him an ideal successor to Craig’s portrayal.

Daniel Craig, who portrayed Bond across five films, bid farewell to the character following the release of 2021’s “No Time To Die,” a film that concluded with a dramatic finale, leaving the fate of 007 ambiguous.

With Aaron Taylor-Johnson potentially stepping into the iconic role, fans await eagerly for further developments as the next chapter of the Bond saga begins to take shape.
