"Europe’s weak position increases Ukraine’s value. The more the United States retreats, the more Europe needs Ukraine, and the more justified Ukraine’s demand for something in return, such as full EU accession, becomes." Absolutely correct. foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/29/e...

This is a good piece by @lianafix.bsky.social on the competing back-stabbing narratives in US & Europe. For me the root of the problem is European NATO members having failed to propose timetable for burden-shifting on critical enablers last year. Europeans are still not serious enough about it.
