⏩ New Introductory Essay
‘To #Ukraine With Love’
Talks about how #Russia’s war has changed us - me included. I share my personal journey this year & how I’ve tried to respond to the situation my doing more & doing better - & found such good company in doing so (incl. #NAFO).
There’s 4 Sections
I. #Ukraine’s fight for EU Membership &🇪🇺’s struggle for its identity
II. The Return of Central Europe & the rise of #NeoIdealism
III. #Germany: Reckoning, Reinvention & (Unrealised) Potential
IV. The #VisaBan & How to Defend Liberalism

And here’s the full contents list.
- I added an intro paragraph to each text explaining where it was written, why and what are the key issues it raised (& reflecting on how some things changed through the year as well as what endured) - & thank those who made the text possible
I did the book for 3 reasons:
1. To provide ways of making sense of the war, why it matters and how we can win.
2. To raise money for #Ukraine.
3. To pay tribute to (& provide another anchor for) the community we formed through collective purpose
