“The world’s best and brightest” (@bundeskanzler) came to Berlin for the #RecoveryOfUkraine “expert conference” to engage in “prudent preparation” (@bundeskanzler) for🇺🇦reconstruction. @bundeskanzler and co-host @vonderleyen wanted to listen. What did they hear? A 12-part🧵 
2/ The brand-new, never-yet-heard message was:🇺🇦 needs much more help, and fast. It needs action, not promises. Help to survive to even get to reconstruction. So why did @bundeskanzler need “the world’s best and brightest” to educate him about what he can read in the paper daily?
3/ The optimistic version: @bundeskanzler 🇩🇪 needs a made-for-TV event with a bunch of highly knowledgeable talking heads (that any think tank could have convened) in order to prepare the German taxpayer for a heavy lift.
Much has been said about the short-comings of 🇩🇪‘s support for #Ukraine, in the military realm. But today’s #RecoveryOfUkraine conference underlines 🇩🇪 leadership for a European led, inclusive recovery, with an eye for the short, medium and long term. /1
On the one hand, one might ask WHY already talk and plan Ukraine’s recovery, while Russian missiles and Iranian suicide drones hammer civilian infrastructure. But the US began first recovery planning for Europe in 1941 before it entered the war. /2
Ukraine understands that very well and kicked off the EU accession process and recovery planning few days into the war.
Focus of any talks obviously has to focus on the today and helping 🇺🇦 to win this war quickly and get through this winter. /3
