The TEPSA Experts' Debrief on EU Strategic Autonomy is out, with my piece on strategic autonomy in energy policy!
Update: as argued, the EU depends on LNG from Trump's US; now supplies from the Middle East (ie. Qatar) are threatened too, causing a spike in prices with low EU gas storage levels

"If there's anything that I lack in European discourse is this conviction that our project is worthwhile defending. Where is that sort of strategic visionary thinking? That's what I get when I'm in Ukraine. That's why it's so inspiring," says @klaralindstrom.bsky.social.
youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
"I think one of the problems of Ukraine's struggle for its European belonging is that it has seen itself as a European country, but it has not been seen as one by other EU Member States or by countries in the West", says @klaralindstrom.bsky.social in our #EuropeChats
youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
@mariam-k.bsky.social asked "Will Ukraine join #NATO eventually? And is this question even relevant at this point?"
Learn more of @klaralindstrom.bsky.social's perspective on this point by watching our #EuropeChats on Ukraine's future➡️ youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
On the Commission's reverse #enlargement plan, @klaralindstrom.bsky.social said, "Being in this gray zone, politically & militarily, is a security risk for Ukraine &, of course, for Europe. So it's in the strategic interest of Europe to have Ukraine in institutionally"
➡️ youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
On EU-Ukraine relations, @klaralindstrom.bsky.social warns that the EU is over-promising and under-delivering.
🎤 "So my impression is that there's frustration & some disappointment, but at the same time, there's a realisation that we are in the same boat with Europe."
youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
"Aren't we getting a bit distracted by thinking too much about peace and post-war reconstruction, perhaps to the detriment of actual support for Ukraine?"
TEPSA's @mariam-k.bsky.social posed this question to @klaralindstrom.bsky.social. Hear her reply in our #EuropeChats ⬇️
youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
"I would say one of the most important and urgent tasks now is really to step up the #military support. It's about giving Ukraine the equipment and the mandate to really defend itself", recommends @klaralindstrom.bsky.social during our #EuropeChats episode on 🇺🇦
👉 youtu.be/lk886arm-n8?...
"I think one of my main takeaways, despite this harsh winter, is that vulnerability can coexist with #resilience. So it's not imminent societal collapse and #Ukrainians will continue fighting", @klaralindstrom.bsky.social during our #EuropeChats episode.
