Trump will not save #Ukraine, or Europe, from Putin. Europeans need to stop Putin’s advance and guarantee Ukraine’s security. 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 New @CER_EU policy brief by @CER_IanBond Read here: https://t.co/FdjbOi9WQ8

Important reminder that at the same time as stepping up military support to Ukraine, the EU needs to keep the pressure on Kyiv to do more about rule of law problems - not just to improve its chances of EU accession, but because it will make Ukraine a more resilient state.
#Ukraine will need tough love from the EU to fight corruption and strengthen the rule of law. 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 New @CER_EU insight by @larsenification Read here: https://t.co/HvUFXcBpSI

It's always a pleasure to talk to Hanna Shelest of @prismUA, & this was no exception. Main takeaways? Putin is not the least bit interested in peace; & more than anything else, Ukraine needs its allies to stick with it, and not to get tired.
🎙️ New #CERpodcast: @CER_IanBond spoke with Hanna Shelest, @prismUA on the latest developments in Russia's war of aggression against #Ukraine. 🎙️ Listen here:

“I viewed this from the beginning as a damage-limitation exercise, and I think to some extent it achieved that,” said @CER_IanBond, a former British diplomat, now deputy director of @CER_EU. “Clearly, it was a lot better than the meeting in February.” https://t.co/7EZ1rxJxFZ

@CER_IanBond “Is that going to happen this time? We simply don’t know,” Bond adds. But, he argues, it is a reason for Europe and Ukraine to resist acquiescing to a bad deal – like surrendering Donbas – that would leave them much more vulnerable.

Read this by @CER_IanBond Really good reality check. Russia is not invincible. Trump has no interest in European security even though it's arguably central for US wider security. Europe must face up to the hard choices.
Thoughts ahead of Trump’s meeting with Zelenskyy & Europeans. First, Trump wants both sides to stop fighting, but is only prepared to put pressure on Ukraine. If Putin had any worries on that score, the Alaska summit will have reassured him. Sanctions are postponed, again. 1/16

The second lie is that Putin invaded because of NATO. This is nonsense spread by old men and crack pots. Putin’s own essays give the real reason. Nato was on only 6% of Russia borders pre-22. This is about Putin’s warped view of history. 6/9

@France24_en @CER_IanBond "You don't need to to give Putin the reward of a summit meeting with all this pomp and circumstance and literally a red carpet, when there is absolutely no sign that Putin wants to to make any compromises at all ", he added.

Another excellent briefing for all those participating in the WH meeting today! Spot-on!

.@CER_IanBond, заступник директора Центру європейських реформ (@CER_EU), сумнівається, що зустріч на Алясці матиме довгостроковий ефект, і переконаний, що навіть якби європейці були присутні, вони навряд чи змогли б реально вплинути на процес. https://t.co/A8ZEWWL0eh

🇵🇱A greeting to Trump? Poland’s Foreign Minister gave a very simple piece of advice on how to immediately end the war in Ukraine Radosław Sikorski wrote on social network X: 💥 “For the record. Since 1994, Ukraine has already had guarantees of independence and the inviolability

Things to remember and to watch for in Washington today. 1. It is assessed by many Military leaders in Nato , UK & US that for Putin to take by force the 4 Oblasts will take a further 2 million Russian Casualties & 4.4 years. Without Trump , Putin doesn’t hold all the cards 1/9
