As Russian influence in Central Asia wanes, Turkey’s is on the rise, writes Johan Engvall.

How to make EU eastern policy fit for a geopolitical world? Start by initiating a Trans-Caspian Partnership in place of the now defunct Eastern Partnership. My latest for @NewEastEurope
EU leaders’ decision to start accession negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine has put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership which was never designed to handle enlargement. The time is therefore ripe for a geopolitically more assertive EU to geographically

In trying to do so much to disrupt EU integration the Russian state has ended up drawing the EU much deeper into what Russian elites consider as their sphere than if Russia had left the EU alone in the first place.
In the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the desire to forge closer ties with the EU has increased following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Dr. @ujengvall @SCEEUS_UI @ResearchUI in @NewEastEurope

A Russian victory over Ukraine would have grave implications not only on the post-Soviet region. Conversely, a Ukrainian achievement of just peace will have stabilizing effects far beyond Eastern Europe. @KyivPost

From the scale of Ukraine’s domestic reform to the marvel of its technological and prowess in combating a gargantuan aggressor, Ukraine’s innovations provide a template for democratization.

The Kyrgyz wrestling wonder!
Of the 16 people in Kyrgyzstan's Olympic team, six won medals; that is a 38 percent hit rate, the highest rate for any participating nation, which makes Kyrgyzstan the most successful Olympic nation in the world

Russia begins its response to Ukraine's incursion into Kursk. Multiple ministries are involved and the command structure is still forming. Someone in Ukraine knew what they were doing and exploited a weak seam in Russian C2. A few important issues to watch: 🧵

Russia usually reacts slowly because of its extreme centralization. Putin himself needs to decide & he tends to do so slowly.
2. Weak and slow responses in the regions expose systemic corruption and lies, revealing cracks in Putin's power vertical that can be strategically exploited. 2/👇🏻

Ukraine’s lightning foray into Russia undermines the widespread idea that Putin holds all the cards to dictate the terms of a cease-fire.

Dans les faits, le PO original s’est effondré, la ligne de démarcation nette entre le Caucase du Sud et l’Asie centrale se dissout rapidement, et une véritable dynamique transcaspienne émerge. @ujengvall @SCEEUS_UI @DeskRussie

Opening accession negotiations with Moldova & Ukraine marked a new era for the EU’s Eastern policy. It put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership, which was never designed to handle enlargement. An article by @ujengvall from @SCEEUS_UI ⬇️ https://t.co/x5oNKZSllO

It is time for a more geopolitically assertive European Union to rethink geographically and broaden thematically its Eastern policy.
