Europe and the War in Ukraine

Russia's aggression against Ukraine in February 2022 shook
the world and has caused immense suffering and destruction in the invaded
country. All indications are that the war will drag on deep into 2023. Until
now the conflict has been highly dynamic, both militarily and politically.
Ambitions, objectives and achievements have been as dynamic as the policies of
the stakeholders involved. While not a military player itself, the European
Union has emerged as a significant actor by aiding the Ukrainian war effort,
supporting refugees, sanctioning Russia and turning Ukraine into a candidate
for EU membership. This book tracks these developments and looks at the key
aspects of the war from a European perspective. Beyond the causes and
consequences of the war, it explores how Europe - and, more specifically, the
EU - has performed during the conflict: something that is likely to determine
the future of our continent in many ways.
