There is pretty some awful stuff here: “Bloc officials quickly played down the likelihood of any such move for a number of reasons, including the fact that no such fast-track procedure exists.”
AND type of totally empty and unless language too from German Foreign Minister @ABaerbock who said joining the 27-nation group is not something that can be done in a couple of months but Ukraine is part of the "house of Europe" in which it is welcome.
Depressingly ordinary at such meetings… BUT, @ABaerbock @vonderleyen @eucopresident
surely understand these are NOT ordinary times. @ZelenskyyUa is fighting for his country’s survival and also for his own life with extraordinary bravery. He knows that granting of EU membership
would galvanise his already heroic troops and thus we must make sure he can bring this news back to his people himself. #VladTheVilan has a price on his head and every day he withstands this ordeal must feel like a fresh blessing to him! No expedited joining procedure exists?
Mais où donc est le problème @vonderleyen @eucopresident?! European and global diplomacies have seen by now innumerable “firsts” in the last week, as I am sure @jensstoltenberg can confirm, in fact probably more so than in any other week since the end of WW2.
The EU can not send a regular army to fight along side of and protect @ZelenskyyUa and his band of heroes because it does not have one (yet?). BUT it has another sort of army: that of the technocrats teeming within EU headquarters. Given even half a chance, the right specialists

Complete agree. This won’t be over when there’s a cease-fire in Ukraine. World has changed profoundly in the 2 yr-Covid pandemic, the Trump era & perhaps to a greater extent geopolitically even in just this last week. WE NOW ALL FULLY RE-APPRECIATE WHAT WE COULD SO EASILY LOOSE. Image
This re-appreciation means NONE OF US will be able to torelate thought of a Bond- movie-level-vilain-turned-basket-case, after a deranged aggression against Ukraine, could remain in any position of power & especially nuclear power. This won’t now be over until #Putin is gone.
You & @HillaryClinton are rightly hoping his so badly mistreated people or his own junta, respectively, will bring him down. I think History has shown how profound Russian social inertia really is (they’ve put up with Stalin and Putin for literally decades!).

GREAT WATCH! US makes #Nebenzya read his own expulsion notice from UN & that of 11 of his colleagues = retaliation for #Putin diabolically declaring war on Ukraine at the very moment that at UNSC his ambassador #Nebenzya was chairing a meeting on Ukraine! voanews.com/a/6464142.html
NB: villainous #Nebenzya lies until his end: journalists ask him if he knows who is on the list & what they’re are being kicked out for & he replies that he does not! #Nebenzya , treacherous arsehole: GAME OVER! We don’t forgive. we don’t forget. You should have expected US! 😆😁
PS: #Nebenzya also lies in hia replies about the reason for the expulsions which US has clearly indicated is SPYING. Finally, he has the nerve to claim that this step that US has taken is in contradiction to the Host Country agreement of the UN & to the Geneva Convention rights.

Switzerland adopts EU sanctions against Russia admin.ch/gov/en/start/d…
Ok, so above is a truly boring legal document but here the fun bit (initially from @RFERL website): The announcement came as Russia's mission in Geneva announced that Lavrov @mfa_russia , who had been scheduled travel to the Swiss city on 1/3 to address UN Human Rights Council
had been forced to cancel his trip due to the sanctions imposed by EU countries! 😁😆😂🤣😉 So with his foreign minister effectively now on a ‘no fly’ list and his UN ambassador Nebenzia effectively personna non grata in NY because of his demonically bad behaviour there on 23/2…

Dear president @ZelenskyyUa I would like to assemble here for you the elements of an argument which IMHO ought to carry much historical & geopolitical weight with coincidentally all now francophone senior European leaders for convincing them to make you part of Europe ASAP…
Apologies @ZelenskyyUa , I got “a bit distracted” by those nukes #VladimirPutin is brandishing about recklessly … Luckily, even these do not scare you it seems!! So let me start spinning my tale again from where I left off. But, because I am sure you have zero time to waste….
I will give you the punchline or “take-home message” first. The keys IMHO is whispering into their ears & subliminally reminding their minds of just these few words: “L’Europe de l’Atlantique à l’Oural”. Should you not have heard these magic words before, here’s their history:
