CED’s Policy Backgrounders provide timely insights on prominent business and economic policy issues facing the nation.
As the invasion passed its 50th day, with the Russian warship Moskva damaged in the Black Sea, it was a particularly active week on both the political and military fronts in the war in Ukraine. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told President Zelensky that the EU would render its formal opinion on beginning accession negotiations for Ukraine quickly, “a matter of weeks.” She also spoke of Ukraine’s “European future.” Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer visited President Putin in Moscow for “direct, open and tough” talks on the war – “not a friendly meeting.” Ukrainian presidential advisor Mykhailo Podolyak revealed that one problem in the Russia/Ukraine negotiations has been the number of outside countries that will serve as formal guarantors of Ukraine’s security (Ukraine wants more, Russia wants to include Belarus in the group even though Russia and Belarus are part of a “State Union”). The UK announced formal sanctions against oligarch Roman Abramovich and two other prominent Russians, Eugene Tenenbaum and David Davidovich.
