The consequences of the second Russian aggression in Ukraine will change the world in many aspects from international law to nuclear safety, but also locally from regional cooperation to integration. Although Ukraine has now successfully applied to become a member of the European Union and by each passing day confirms it’s NATO membership worthy, it is perhaps more relevant today to focus on the pre-membership period.

Ukraine, which is waging a heroic war against the aggressor, is also achieving tangible and perceivable results on the diplomatic front. The joint efforts of diplomats, state representatives, and non-governmental players secure international support for Ukraine.

Victoria Spartz, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives of Ukrainian origin, accused both the American and Ukrainian leadership last weekend.

It has been more than 130 days since Russia’s war against Ukraine began. Ukraine has shown that it is able to defend itself and win the war, too, with the assistance from the EU and the international community. However, the war can be protracted. Ukraine and the EU need to prepare for such a scenario.

Ukraine and international experts will look for optimal security guarantees.
