I’ve been telling people I spoke to about the whole situation in Ukraine and there’s 2 simple things:

  1. Stand with Ukraine against the Ruzzian menace.
  2. Only allow Ukraine to join the EU like any other country ever has, by the same processes.

The 2 and distinctively different and should not affect each other.

Exactly. I'm all for helping Ukraine protecting itself. I for sure don't want Ukraine in the EU before some serious reforms for the EU and for Ukraine.

I always was a bit confused by people that said "Ukraine deserves to join the EU already".

Yeah, we can all agree we should support it as much as possible against Russia, but joining the EU is not something you deserve, but something you work towards by aligning yourself with it on a multitude of levels. If we would add new countries without following that process, the EU would get even less manageable than it already is. 😢 I hope Ukraine can get there, but getting rid of anti-corruption measures is not it.

I’m not educated enough in Ukrainian politics to fully understand the implications here, but this doesn’t seem good.

In the US right now, and I can't help but feel "Oh, no, not you too." 🥲

Why does this smell of selling out to gain America's support? I'm not being judgemental, believe it or not, shit's dire right now, but that's what it looks like to me. A lot of questionable shifts lately (see their recent decision to adopt Starlink as well).

Hmm...

This isn't good.

The changes would amount to the "destruction of NABU and SAPO's independence and practically subordinate their activities to the prosecutor general
