If supported effectively, Ukraine’s #veterans can become a cornerstone of Ukraine’s national resilience and of Europe’s stability. Veterans reintegration is also integral to the EU accession process.

Anne Appelbaum: "In conversations about Russia and Ukraine, the word “realist” gets thrown around a lot, usually by people who don’t know much about the conflict and nevertheless imagine they are offering a hard-edged, unemotional analysis (which often means, in practice, Russian talking points)."

The USSR occupied eastern Europe, calling it ‘liberation’ – Russia is repeating the crime in Ukraine | Sergei Lebedev In the post-Soviet states, statues can be removed and street names changed. But achieving sovereignty of memory is far harder, says exiled Russian novelist Sergei Lebedev

"The USSR collapsed because its artificial unity was enforced by violence and oppression. The EU’s endurance depends on the persistence of its voluntary unity."

An Article 7.3 procedure, which can suspend a member state’s voting rights, would be the most credible and effective way to limit Hungary’s influence.

Orbán will not be convinced by arguments concerning Ukraine’s readiness to join the EU, since his opposition to Ukraine is based not on substantive issues, but on domestic political concerns. Clear and confident measures will therefore be needed to prevent Orbán from blocking Ukraine’s EU accession.

In 5 years, Russia could have enough weapons to test NATO Article 5, and attack one or more EU countries, European Intelligence services warn us.

That is why we need to remember, that today history is made in Ukraine.

To build support for Ukraine’s EU accession across Europe, the key policy implications of Ukrainian membership must be discussed in a clear and inclusive manner.
