My take on new ideas to speed up #Ukraine’s EU accession as peace talks inch forward.
“Reverse enlargement” is revolutionary but faces steep political hurdles and risks staying symbolic if not followed by real benefits.

It was my great please to discuss with @samzsays at the @the_hindu about how Europeans are adapting to shifts in US foreign policy under Trump, their approach to Ukraine and European security and what the mood is like in European capitals. Have a listen below⬇️
In Focus | Senior EU Analyst Marta Mucznik joins @samzsays to discuss the trans-Atlantic policy, if Europe can still rely on the U.S. for security, or must it step up for self-reliance, and what security framework should Europe pursue.

8/ More on this in our latest analysis. Europe has tough choices ahead, time to reckon with them. #Ukraine #EuropeanSecurity

7/ Europe's messaging must be clear and strategic on how to take part in peace talks, what security guarantees it is willing to offer Ukraine, and how to use economic leverage, including sanctions, to influence the process.

7/ Europe's messaging must be clear and strategic on how to take part in peace talks, what security guarantees it is willing to offer Ukraine, and how to use economic leverage, including sanctions, to influence the process.
6/ The first priority must be ensuring a politically independent, sovereign Ukraine with the ability to defend itself. Putin wants a vassal state and a reshaped European security order, not just more territory.
4/ Europe needs a more realistic approach to a potential peace process, along with a clear and coordinated message, as we caution in @CrisisGroup latest report on #Ukraine and #EuropeanSecurity:

4/ that remains the toughest conundrum for the Europeans and Ukraine's Western allies
3/ A coalition of the willing seems to be driving the response to the war—not NATO, not the EU. But let’s be real: the security guarantee Zelensky truly wants is the one dividing Europeans and Western allies— the principle behind collective defense and NATO’s Article 5.
2/ Despite mixed signals from the Trump administration, quiet diplomacy seems to be working—they are starting to acknowledge that Europeans should, at some point, be part of the process.
1/ Busy week discussing Ukraine and Europe's response to the Trump administration’s peace plan for #Ukraine on @cnnportugal & @RTPNoticias. @CrisisGroup
