Russia’s war on Ukraine is reshaping Europe in profound and unexpected ways—and not just on the battlefield
is reshaping Europe in profound and unexpected ways, and not just on the battlefield. On June 1st leaders of 45 European countries, from Britain to Georgia, met to discuss their collective security at the second summit of the European Political Community . It was held at the Mimi Castle in Moldova—just 13 miles from the Ukrainian border.
Mr Macron turned up after a stop in the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, where—to some surprise—he declared thatenlargement should take place “as fast as possible”. “The question for us is not whether we should enlarge,” he said, “but how we should do it.” In a nod to Chirac, Mr Macron confessed to the largely central and eastern European audience: “We have sometimes missed an opportunity to listen.
The continent’s new geopolitics seem also to be pushing France in a more hawkish direction. In his speech in Bratislava, Mr Macron called for Ukraine to be given a “path to NATO membership” at the alliance’s summit in Vilnius in July. From the president who in 2019 toldthat NATO was experiencing “brain death”, this is quite a turnaround. Mr Putin, said Mr Macron on May 31st, “has awakened [NATO] with the worst of electric shocks.
