Yet again, a plain-talking Scholz, responding to calls from the audience for negotiations: "Negotiations are fine. The question is who negotiates with whom about what. What is unacceptable is that🇺🇦is forced to accept Putin's territorial raid and... " (strong applause) /1
"... and that part of🇺🇦territory is simply turned into🇷🇺. That, in all honesty, is President Putin's plan. (...) He wants to build another🇷🇺empire. He thinks his country is not large enough. To him, 🇺🇦+🇧🇾are part of Russia, as he has told us time and again." /2
"This is the goal of his war. In this, he shall not succeed." (Applause)

Unnoticed by the public+just in time for the🇪🇺🇺🇦 summit, big progress was made last week on🇺🇦reconstruction planning. White smoke: G7 have agreed on governance of donor coordination platform, first meeting was held. Progress report🧵: structure, finances, challenges, agenda 1/
In Dec. 22, the G7 had taken charge of recovery planning after conferences without decisions in Lugano (July 22) and Berlin (Oct. 22). After months of negotiations, agreement on governance was reached earlier in January. First (video) meeting took place on January 26th. 2/
A triumvirate as steering committee for the "🇺🇦Multi-Agency Donor Coordination Platform":
1⃣ 🇺🇸: Mike Pyle, Dep. Nat. Sec. Advisor for Int. Economics

🇬🇪TV founder and opposition-leaning journalist Nika Gvaramia has been sentenced to 3yrs+6mths in jail for using a company car for private purposes. The dubious case, the visit of his wife in🇩🇪,🇬🇪's struggle with media freedom+rule of law while seeking🇪🇺integration: all in a🧵
Sofia Liuashvili, Gvaramia’s wife (see picture), visited @gmfus in Berlin last week to inform us about what is widely seen as a wildly disproportionate sentence in trumped up charges of a blatantly political case. Sofia seeks help from the🇪🇺public to free her husband. 2/
Not just Sofia sees this as a case designed to silence free+liberal media in🇬🇪. On the day of the verdict of the Tbilisi Appeals Court (Dec 2nd, 2022), the U.S.
Embassy protested+the EU Commission raised rule of law concerns about🇬🇪. The🇪🇺Parliament followed suit. 3/

About the🇩🇪🐆wars,🇺🇦FM @DmytroKuleba says this: "First they say no, then they fiercely defend their decision, only to say 'yes' in the end. We're still trying to understand why the🇩🇪government is doing this to itself." Let me try an explanation on grounds of political culture. 🧵
In many countries, governing politicians need to appear strong when it comes to their willingness to defend against a perceived foreign threat. 2/
An 🇺🇸 President will say: "All options are on the table." A 🇩🇪 chancellor will say: "Our path to a solution is diplomacy. But diplomacy also has to work." Essentially, they are saying the same thing, but to different audiences with different political cultures. 3/

Important speech by President #Steinmeier about Putin’s war. He prepares Germans for hard times and an age of confrontation. But the speech is as remarkable for what it mentions as for what it omits. The good, the bad and the ugly - a 13 piece🪵here:
bundespraesident.de/SharedDocs/Dow…
2/ Steinmeier does what🇩🇪 leading politicians (exception: Robert Habeck) have avoided doing so far: saying out loud that the tailwinds which🇩🇪has felt since 1990 have been replaced by headwinds. The times of the peace dividend are over. Every citizen will feel it.
3/ This speech was necessary. It prepares citizens for the moment when economic hardship can no longer be compensated by the government. That moment will come soon.

“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.

Today @bundeskanzler 🇩🇪 and @vonderleyen 🇪🇺 host an expert conference on #UkraineRecovery in Berlin. A 🧵 on how we got here, what to expect and what 🇺🇦 needs. [1/12]
How we got here: In July, 🇨🇭 hosted the first recovery conference. 🇺🇦 presented its #NationalRecoveryPlan, its Western allies didn't respond with a joint plan. The official #LuganoDeclaration only contains 7 broad principles (partnership, sustainability, ...). [2/12]
Several non-papers exist on how to organize reconstruction from a donor perspective, incl. @EU_Commission "Rebuild Ukraine" platform, an @EBRD non-paper about a 3-level structure + secretariat, an @EIB proposal on a "EU-Ukraine Gateway Trust Fund." [3/12]
