На шляху України до вступних переговорів з Євросоюзом пройдений ще один важливий етап.
Єврокомісія, після деяких вагань та спроб загальмувати процес, все ж передала державам-членам проєкт так званої “переговорної рамки” – регламенту майбутнього вступного процесу, що буде спільним для України та Молдови (але з однією відмінністю, яка полегшить життя молдованам).
Ukraine has urged western allies to fund its domestic weapons production with its recently ramped up manufacturing capacity now vastly exceeding the money available for orders.
“The fastest way to start production is to do it in Ukraine,” said Oleksandr Kamyshin, minister for strategic industries, in an interview with the Financial Times.
At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation had a numerical advantage over the Ukrainian Navy. However, now Russian ships do not dare to enter the northwestern part of the Black Sea, because they are restrained by Ukrainian coastal missiles and numerous mines.
Through its war against Ukraine and geopolitical revisionism in the Black Sea, Russia seeks to establish uncontested hegemony and project influence beyond its neighbourhood and into the Western Balkans, South Caucasus, Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East.
How has the Russian invasion redefined security and geopolitics in the Black Sea region?
Experts discuss how the Russo-Ukrainian war has changed regional security dynamics in the Black Sea.
Timothy Ash has been arguing for more than 18 months that the $300 billion plus of Russia central bank monies “immobilised” in Western jurisdictions should be formally frozen, seized and allocated to Ukraine both to compensate it for the immense damage done by Russia to Ukraine but also to give it a chance of being able to fund the war, to secure victory.
