Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda has suggested Ukraine should be allowed into the EU on 1 January 2030 (by which time the war will be over or frozen...). What if it could be in months not years? It won't happen, for all kinds of reasons, but let's entertain it as a 'what if?' thought experiment.
PS: I got my digits muddled: it's Article 42, clause 7 of the Treaty if Europe I ment, not 47(7).
In the second half, I look at three recent deeply-engaged eyewitness books on Ukraine:
· Battleground Ukraine by Adrian Karatnicky (Yale Up, 2024)
· Our Enemies Will Vanish by Yaroslav Trofimov (Michael Joseph 2024)
· I Will Show You How It Was by Illia Ponomarenko (Bloomsbury, 2024)
