Opening Ukraine’s defence industry would permit further cooperation with the EU and allow the country’s economy to directly benefit from European rearmament, writes @melaniap.bsky.social in POLITICO.

Central Asian states "will seek to continue cooperation with Russia when it furthers their own interests, even as they pursue stronger relationships with Western partners."

Read more from Associate Fellow Annette Bohr on how Central Asian leaders are hedging between Russia and the West.
Playing both sides: Central Asia between Russia and the West
Central Asia is adept at hedging between Moscow and the West. Much of its success lies in adhering to a single maxim: tell each side what it wants to hear.

"Think about what lines you will cross and that you will not cross. They are not as obvious, perhaps, as a line on a map, or a line of trenches at the front. But we cannot pretend that they are not there. And if we cross them, we will no longer be ourselves."

Powerful words from Timothy Snyder.
"I am on a night train from Kyiv, bound for Zaporizhzhia, a city in the southeast of Ukraine which is about twenty miles from the front... As I get ready to go to sleep, I find myself thinking that Americans are also speeding towards a line."
