The geopolitical urgency created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to a significant shift in the Associated Trio EU accession. Ukraine and Moldova, previously seen as not ready for accession, were granted EU candidate status in 2022 and secured the opening of accession negotiations in 2023. The process was sped up due to the reform efforts of these countries and the EU's acknowledgment of the security imperative for their integration. Georgia lagged behind in 2022, but ultimately received the candidate status, [referencing the author], as a geopolitical signal to the overwhelmingly pro-European Georgian population. The dynamics of the accession process have changed, with the Eastern trio (Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia) progressing more rapidly than the Western Balkans. Nonetheless, the EU's approach to enlargement remains complex, with internal divisions and differing priorities affecting the process. The EU's credibility and commitment to enlargement are being tested, particularly in light of ongoing geopolitical challenges and the need for internal reform within the EU itself. #EaP #EU #Ukraine #Georgia #Moldova

The support package from the #EU is a €50B game-changer for #Ukraine. Two outstanding matters however: The #UnitedStatesCongress deadlock over billions of #militaryaid to Ukraine; and Top #UkraineGeneral #ValeriiZaluzhnyi who refuses to quit at the order of #UkrainePresident #VolodymyrZelenskyy. If the #EU can get its act together despite #ViktorOrban, then the #US can too! In #democracies #civilleadership rules #militaryleadership. As the #Clausewitz cliche goes: “#War is the continuation of #politics by other means”
🇺🇦🇪🇺President #Zelenskyy: “Today the #EU has made a long-awaited decision: €50 billion for #Ukraine. A support program. A long-term program for four years. This means Ukrainians have financial guarantees for our social stability. The decision was adopted today at the meeting of the European Council – at the level of leaders. The Ukrainian team and our friends in the EU have been working quite thoroughly and actively for this decision – through various channels and at various levels. Europe has demonstrated exactly the kind of unity that is needed. 27 countries – together. The EU institutions – in full cooperation. This is a clear signal to Moscow that Europe will withstand and that Europe will not be broken by any destructive waves that the Kremlin always comes up with. But at the same time, it is a clear signal across the Atlantic that Europe is taking on commitments. Security commitments. Strong commitments. We are waiting for America's decisions.” #StandWithUkraine #stoprussia #russiaisaterroriststate #SupportUkraine

When will this absolute naïveté stop? Beijing is a beneficiary of Putin’s actions. Every ask of Xi… Putin, Iran, fails to recognize that these actions aid Xi. The current gross conceptual errors that are most of the West’s foreign policy would be laughable if not so dangerous. Xi cannot and will not ask Putin to “stop.” Beijing and Moscow share congruent goals. Zhongnanhai must be laughing.

Deluded Vladimir Putin claims 'just three things' stop war in Ukraine ending Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that there are just "three things" stopping the end to the war in Ukraine. By SAM ORMISTON, Assistant News Editor Apr 13, 2024 Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that there are just "three things" preventing the end of the war in Ukraine, and he's ready to discuss peace if these issues are resolved. Despite his invasion lasting over two years with no significant gains, deluded Putin remains defiant as Ukraine continues to resist relentless attacks on its people and infrastructure. With a peace conference scheduled in Switzerland excluding Russia, the despot used a conversation with Belarusian leader Aleksandr Lukashenko in Moscow this week to express his frustrations. He highlighted three key issues that need addressing: the exclusion of Russia from peace talks, border security, and attacks on energy infrastructure. He also discussed Lukashenko's support for Russia and criticised the global community's approach to the conflict. ... In a transcript provided by the Kremlin, it is reported that Putin said: "The idea of holding some kind of conference in Switzerland is being promoted. We are not invited there. Moreover, they think that we have nothing to do there, and at the same time they say that nothing can be solved without us. Since we are not going there (it has now turned into a kind of nonsense), they say that we refuse to negotiate. "We were not invited, but they say that we refuse it would be funny if it were not so sad." Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russia is open to peace talks, but only if they are held on Moscow's terms. Speaking to reporters, Putin said: "I would like to emphasise that we are in favour of talks. But not in the format of being imposed any schemes that have nothing to do with reality. Why do I say that? "Because if the need arises, I will allow myself to turn to you, and maybe we will continue consultations with you in this area. "He also denied that Russia was responsible for attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine, despite evidence to the contrary.

An individual initiative that leads nowhere except to make headlines. That said, PM Orban is most probably right when saying that the EU will be left away when a peace or cease-fire deal will be reached. Secret or discrete diplomacy could be more effective than restoring openly communication channels while President Putin has again said that there is nothing to negotiate. #ukraine #russia #europe #eu #europeanunion

🎤 "Putin wants us to be 𝐚𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐝 and not support #Ukraine because of 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫. We must not fall into this trap." — #Estonia PM Kaja Kallas 🇪🇪 "We are held back by fear. Countries have different fears, whether the nuclear fear, the fear of escalation, or the fear of migration. We must not fall into the trap of fear, because that is exactly what Putin wants. 🚨 He wants us to be afraid and not support Ukraine out of fear," Kaja Kallas said during a discussion on support for Ukraine as part of the Lennart Meri conference. "We will act decisively and stop our adversaries from dictating our future." ☝️ Kallas also stressed that Ukraine’s allies have to support it for as long as it takes. ❗ The prime minister also recalled that Russia had previously created migrant crisises in #Europe by fueling conflicts in #Syria and #Africa - through Wagner in particular. And she assured that Western countries would act decisively and would not allow their adversaries to dictate their future. "This means that we have to help Ukraine push Russia back to its borders. We have to continue imposing sanctions until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored. The aggressor has to fully pay for the damage they have caused and all those guilty, including the Russian leadership, must be held responsible. The end of grey zones is what Europe needs, and this means that Ukraine has to join the #EU and #NATO ." Kallas added. All those still afraid of winning - just listen to PM Kallas. 💡 And note a russian defeat and the fall of Moscow's regime, Is the only real hope for a better #future for russians themselves, As well as the many dozens of millions of peoples and cultures oppressed by russia to this day. #PublicSpeaking #Leadership #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
