This happened precisely for geopolitical reasons

Post by JoyuntoExpate »

Deputy Director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics , the EU is at a crossroads, and moving to a qualitatively new integration will only exacerbate the institution's crisis. “There will be increased friction within the EU itself. Relations between the two leaders, Germany and France, have already deteriorated sharply; and given Poland's ambitions, it is not clear what the configuration of the EU will look like in the near future. At the same time, deepening integration implies giving up those remnants of sovereignty that countries still have.

For example giving up their own security, independence in foreign policy consumer email list and gas imports, ”says Suslov. According to the expert, the European Union has grown from an economic institution into a geopolitical player. The latter, among other things, manifests itself in attempts to expand it. So, in the summer of 2022, Ukraine and Moldova received the status of a candidate for joining the European Union., and not for reasons of the objective readiness of these countries and their compliance with the criteria for EU membership. I am sure that the European elites understand that the accession of these countries to the European Union will be a shot in the head of the EU itself.

It will cease to be what it was created by – an integration institution based on common rules and standards,” says Suslov. There is also an opposite point of view. According to Yevgeny Roshchin, from an organizational point of view, the European Union is currently in the "stage of a second wind." In his opinion, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, on the contrary, united the EU and forced the organization to develop a common policy to support Ukraine in energy matters as well. The interlocutor of RBC Trends calls the emerging disagreements in the European Union a normal phenomenon - as in any democratic parliament, someone always votes against the majority.
