Spending six weeks in Lviv I experienced morale higher than ever. The Ukrainian people are optimistic about their country's future. A recap of my previous visits.

The tides are turning on the battlefield and the balance of power is shifting in Europe's favour. Putin is down but not out, and his options are increasingly narrowing.

An analysis of Ukraine's demographic changes in the past century and a review of the currently circulating myths. The numbers provide more hope than most tend to think.

Milyen hosszú távú következményei lesznek Orbán Viktor külpolitikájának Magyarország megítélésére? Mi történt, és hogyan tovább?

Let's imagine a future where Russia took over Ukraine and is free to pursue its further geopolitical aims. How would that look like, and what would it mean to Europe?

16 years of Orbánism has come to an end. The story of how it happened has much to teach us about what might come after far-right populism and where we stand in history.

Nyílt levél a választások után. Győzelemről, külpolitikáról és méltóságról.

2026-ban Magyarországon sokan rendszerváltást remélnek. A választás messzebbre mutat ennél. A posztkommunista generációk állnak szemben a régi rendszer termékeinek utolsó képviselőivel. steady.page/en/whatsoneu...

The post Cold War stability ended. The question is what comes next.

Ukraine's geopolitical significance increased dramatically over the past years. Now they have real leverage and cards to play even at the highest tables.

In the past two decades we are going from crisis to crisis. Each of them was supposed to be the end of the EU. But lately something changed about this perception.

🇪🇺 A New War in the Middle East, and Europe in the Crosswinds War between Iran and US-Israel could reshape global politics again. Europe faces risks ranging from energy shocks to migration pressure and disruptions to Ukraine aid. An analysis from a European perspective. steady.page/en/whatsoneu...

🇪🇺 What's on EUR Mind? — How Europe can force Putin to stop Ukraine entered the fifth year of a large-scale war. Putin has no intention to quit, so Europe must pursue a strategy that will make him. We have all the pieces to do so. steady.page/en/whatsoneu...

🇪🇺 What's on EUR Mind? — Can Europe defend itself? According to Mark Rutte, we should “keep on dreaming” if we think we have a chance without the US. Is this true? What is even Europe, and what does defending it mean?

In this blog post, I'm looking at the claim by @anderspucknielsen.dk regarding a potential Russian invasion against the Baltic States. I reflect on his argument, how I envision the probabilities, and the potential consequences for Russia, Ukraine, and Europe.

Europe has had its fair share of men like them in history. Conquerors who wanted to reshape the continent and created massive destruction and suffering in the meantime. Europe endured and dealt with them all.

What is going on with Greenland? Donald Trump is threatening to “buy” Greenland, or taking it by any means necessary. As of now, those means are diplomatic and economic pressure (his usual tariff threats), but he signalled the willingness to use force. steady.page/it/whatsoneu...
