The comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries is running on high-gear as they share common views on the necessity of supporting the emergence of a multipolar world order based on the principle of sovereign equality.

No final de outubro, a presidente do Parlamento Europeu, Roberta Metsola ao ser questionada por um jornalista se a UE abriria formalmente as negociações de adesão da Ucrânia e da Moldávia, depois de conceder o estatuto de candidato a estes países em 2022, respondeu: “Se um país olha para a Europa, então a Europa deve escancarar as portas. O alargamento sempre foi o instrumento geopolítico mais forte da União Europeia”.

The current conflict in Ukraine shows that restoring a sense of reality exacts a heavy and bloody toll, writes Laura Ruggeri.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Someone should tell the Biden team.
