Under the second Ursula von der Leyen commission, Ukraine and the rest of the countries in Europe’s east absorbed the largest part of the EU’s foreign policy bandwidth. This is making the EU a regional power, not the global one it wants to be, warns Carnegie Europe.
Ukraine and Gaza aside, is the EU's foreign policy gaze actually shrinking?

The EU court has ruled that Poland must recognise the marriage of a Polish same-sex couple who married in Germany, even though Polish law does not allow such marriages.
The ruling requires Poland to change its system for recognising such marriages so as not to discriminate against same-sex couples.

Yes, please!
We need to stop calling it a ‘peace plan,’ even with sarcastic quotes around it. Call it the US-Kremlin plan or similar.
‘US-Kremlin plan’ shames the US and makes it sound deeply unappealing to the broader US and European publics.
