Much has already been said about the European Union’s deep-rooted crisis. In 2019, Ursula von der Leyen declared that she wanted to lead a “geopolitical” European Commission, stressing that the EU should become a united global actor.

In order to minimize the flow of foreign currency into the Russian budget, Europe even stopped buying energy resources from Russia, switching to the United States and increasing […]
Russia considers it to be a series of military logistics projects sold to the public as economic ones. The 10th Summit of the “Three Seas Initiative” (3SI), which refers to the jointly Polish- and Croatian-founded platform for fostering Central European integration, concluded in Warsaw in late April. Their joint statement, the Ukrainian-relevant […]
