The Western response to the war in Ukraine surprised the world in 2022 in how unified it was. European leaders and the US stood together in solidarity against Russia’s brutal aggression, a rare moment of togetherness amidst other divisions. But in late 2023? Well, the situation is mixed.Increasingly sophisticated military equipment continues to be sent to Ukraine, but will it prove to be the wunderwaffe that so many Ukrainians hope for? And with the political success of far right populists in Slovakia and the Netherlands, is the unity of Europe about to break? What role does the cautious German Chancellery play here? And will the much anticipated US aid package come in time to bolster Ukraine’s war effort?In this episode of Power Lines, we answer these questions and more, alongside our guest this week, Justyna Gotkowska. Justyna is the Deputy Director at the Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW) and head of its Security and Defence Department. She primarily focuses on central and Eastern Europe, notably Germany and the Baltic states, and is a regular participant in international research projects, including Think Visegrad, Estonian ICDS, and German DGAP.Check out <a href="https://insights.kyivindependent.com/">insights.Kyivindependent.com</a> for more in depth analysis of the War in Ukraine, and follow <a href="https://kyivindependent.com/">The Kyiv Independent</a> on <a href="https://twitter.com/kyivindependent">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kyivindependent">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kyivindependent_official/?hl=en">Instagram</a> to get latest news and to stay up to date with our coverage.You can find Message Heard on our website at <a href="http://messageheard.com/">messageheard.com</a>, and follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/messageheard">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/messageheard/">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MessageHeard">Facebook</a> to never miss a show.
