If Ukraine is important to you, this paper from one of Europe's most consequential thinkers on EU policy, Nathalie Tocci, is vital reading, dispensing with much of the "visionary" nonsense bandied about by those who never want to see Ukraine in the EU.

Superb piece from Nathalie Tocci setting out the rationale and necessity of EU Accession for #Ukraine. There are those who see the EU as a new vehicle for Great Power diplomacy. Many others see the crisis for what it is: a test of our values and resolve. Slava Ukraini.

This is the right move at the right time. If there is a country in the neighborhood whose values are so clearly ours, whose commitment to supporting and sustaining those values is proven in the most vital way, it is Ukraine. I’m proud of the EU today. Slava Ukraini.

Threshold-based policies – essentially ceilings on growth – with onerous rules 4 companies that succeed w/consumers - were always a bad idea – not just 4 U.S.-based platforms but 4 #EU companies. Europe will never get #hyperscalers it needs. Ask Zalando bit.ly/3CPhHez
