🇺🇦 What security guarantees does Ukraine need? Second panel at our international Ukraine conference with @JohnEdHerbst, @ChRodhe, @Bobrovska_MP, Flemming Splidsboel Hansen and @SaraNanni, moderated by LibMods Ukraine Program Director @Simon_Schlegel_. Sara Nanni: "Right now we have a negotiation table with three parties, two of them want a capitulation of Ukraine. So, maybe we need a new table!" Solomiia Bobrovska,: "On the negotiations – There is an endless list of demands from Trump’s administration of what Ukraine must do. But what are the demands to the Russian side? Will they just stop fighting along the frontline? Russian threat will be endless, and we must be prepared. Freedom is not free." #LibMod #UkraineandUs

Charlotta Rodhe @ChRodhe at our public discussion "Russia and the West - What is at Stake" in #Berlin: "When we look at the #Zeitenwende it's of course only half baked and it's quite urgent actually to make sure that thing can come out of the oven and we can all use that [...] I mean, the easy question is what do we expect from Germany, its strategic leadership." "But I think we also need to understand that whether or not #Germany wants to lead, people will follow just by the fact that Germany's what Germany is. And the risk aversion that we see in German policies [...] becomes an alibi for others as well [...] and it becomes a drag on the West's resolve in handling the situation." "And I mean anything less than a Ukrainian victory and a Russian military defeat in #Ukraine actually means that #Russia harvests fruits of aggression and it puts us in a very difficult situation. I mean, we talk about international law, global order, European security order and so on. But what this really is, is a betrayal of the whole European project, the whole idea of Nie wieder."
