Interesting moment in Kyiv. Zelenskyy say he wants to "fast-track" EU membership for Ukraine and set 2027 as a "clear date". Von der Leyen replies: "The date you set is your benchmark that you want to match. You know that from our side, dates by themselves are not possible."

The Supreme Court found that the Trump administration can't misuse a trade provision intended for narrow emergencies to usurp broad power over tariffs from Congress and so they immediately pivoted to misusing another trade provision intended for emergencies to usurp broad power over tariffs.

More "coalition of the willing"-style differentiation will always mean more power to the largest member states. If smaller member states don't like that, they'll have to push for stronger supranational institutions and more majority voting - either in an EU27 or a "core EU" framework.

That was always the risk in going for the solution based on EU debt rather than using the Russian assets. The assets would have required QMV, the debt needs unanimity regardless of the fact that it would be carried out by enhanced cooperation. France et al knew that risk and went for it anyway.
