‼️It is not too late to put fragility & conflict back on the EU’s list of priorities.

Feb 24 marked the second anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. In #TheCurrentColumn, @julianbergmann.bsky.social stresses that support for Ukraine is not only question of European solidarity but crucial for a stable European security order: www.idos-research.de/en/the-curre....

Support for Ukraine: Europe must step up its efforts

Quote: “It is precisely now that Europe must not let up in its support for the country, and should intensify its efforts – including the reconstruction of Ukraine, which has already begun, as well as the country’s further integration into the European Union (EU).“

Julian Bergmann vom IDOS hat einige Ideen in unserem neuen Joint Futures gesammelt. www.megatrends-afrika.de/publikation/...
