According to the latest #polling data from ECFR, Europeans largely believe that the #war in #Ukraine will continue for at least another year. And there is a prevailing sentiment of dissatisfaction regarding the EU's performance in efforts to resolve the conflict. Source: datacollection.ecfr.eu

SLAVA UKRAINI, HEROIAM SLAVA! Over the past 4 years, Europe has shown an incredible #solidarity with #Ukraine. But European leaders won’t avoid difficult questions as to whether they have done enough to end the #war, if they have done the right thing, and if they have a plan.

@rafal-trzaskowski.bsky.social powinien zacząć mówić o 2027. Jeśli Nawrocki motywuje wyborców potrzebą zatrzymania jedynowładztwa Tuska, to łatwo to odwrócić. Prawica ze skrajną prawicą mogą dojść do władzy w 2027. Trzaskowski jako prezydent jest potrzebny, aby zatrzymać ich jedynowładztwo.

This is interesting on so many levels: as an effort of #Trump 2.0 to influence domestic politics in Europe (this time in #Poland); as an experiment on whether this can boost rather than damage the candidate's credibility; and as presence of 'US policy' in elections. tvpworld.com/86489103/rig...

With @celiabelin.bsky.social and @camillelons.bsky.social, we argue Le Pen's conviction will have implications well beyond France, serving as a powerful proof for the international far-right that the system is unfair and skewed against them 👇 @ecfr.eu

The Trump administration has withdrawn all military aid for Ukraine. Europeans can fill the void—but they need to act fast, writes @rafaelloss.bsky.social Read here:

Don't write off #France just yet, but instead keep it engaged in Europe's defence & #Ukraine decisions + seek to fill in Europe's leadership gaps that its domestic political turmoil only exacerbates. Here's our recommendation - with @camillegrand.bsky.social & Camille Lons - for the rest of Europe.

Germany, France... Which is the other EU country most vulnerable to government collapse or the need to call snap elections? The Netherlands? The Czech Republic? Spain?

Today's vote to end #Barnier gov looks like a lose-lose situation to me. Not only will it heighten economic uncertainty in and vis-a-vis #France, but it's also to-be-seen if the left or the far-right, who voted the government down, will be able to draw any political benefit from it.

Why #Europe needs #Brazil, how the two misunderstand each other, and what would it take for them to build a real partnership. We discussed these with Monica Hirst @jpuglierin.bsky.social & Nacho Torreblanca at the @ecfr.bsky.social webinar last Friday. Watch it here 👇 ecfr.eu/event/samba-...
