Joerg Forbrig: Europe should be happy that Ukraine wants in
Europeans should be deeply grateful to Ukraine. What makes hundreds of thousands of citizens withstand freeze and force alike is not a plea for help; it is their confident demand for self-determination, lawfulness, prosperity and peace. Ukrainians’ commitment to these most basic values is a powerful reminder of what European Union integration once set out to achieve, and how much is still to be done. If it is ever to live up to its self-declared ambitions, Europe must succeed in Ukraine.
