American consumers have a lot of skepticism about self-driving vehicles, according to a new AAA survey. It finds that less than half of us would get in a car without a driver and far fewer would use automated driving when they're behind the wheel. Also, we’ll hear about a proposed EU-Ukraine partnership over strategic minerals, unpack federal agency responses to an ultimatum by Elon Musk and look at EV truck charging infrastructure.

Mehrere post-sowjetische Staaten wollen in die Europäische Union: neben der Ukraine die drei kleineren Staaten Georgien, Moldau und Armenien. Die Europäische Kommission hat Anfang November 2023 für die Ukraine und Moldau Beitrittsgespräche empfohlen, Georgien soll Beitrittskandidat werden. Die EU sei durch den russischen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine „geopolitisch erwacht“, sagt Dr. Khatia Kikalishvili. Sie stammt selbst aus Georgien und ist seit 2019 Programmdirektorin Östliche Partnerschaft im Berliner Zentrum Liberale Moderne (LIBMOD). Im Atlantic Talk Podcast beschreibt sie, welche Euphorie in Georgien nach der Empfehlung der EU-Kommission herrschte, die dort gewissermaßen auch als Empfehlung an die Bevölkerung empfunden worden sei, denn 80 % der Bevölkerung seien dort seit den 1990er-Jahren durchgängig pro-europäisch. Die Ukraine, Georgien, Moldau und Armenien verbinden zwei Dinge: erstens teilten sie die europäischen Ideen von Freiheit, Frieden und Sicherheit und zweitens seien sie alle von Russland bedroht. So stünden Georgiens Teilrepubliken Abchasien und Südossetien seit Jahren unter starkem Einfluss Moskaus. Kikalishvili betont, Russland gehe es dabei schlussendlich nicht nur um Besatzung, sondern um Annexion. Wie groß ist die Gefahr, dass Russland aus dem besetzen Abchasien Drohnen in Richtung Ukraine schickt und damit möglicherweise Georgien in den Krieg hineingezogen wird? Und wie groß ist das geopolitische Potenzial eines geplanten Tiefseehafens im georgischen Kurort Anaklia? Für China wie für die USA und die EU hochinteressant, würde der geplante Hafen China und die EU auf dem „mittleren Korridor“ der neuen Seidenstraße verbinden, ohne russisches Territorium zu berühren. Im Atlantic Talk Podcast spricht Moderator Oliver Weilandt mit Kikalishvili auch über die europäischen Programme in der Republik Moldau. Die EU hatte erkannt, wie unvorbereitet Moldau auch in Hinblick auf Cyberattacken und Destabilisierungsstrategien insbesondere auch von Russland ist. Im April 2022 hat die EU daher eine zivile Mission in der Republik Moldau eingerichtet mit dem Ziel, die Widerstandsfähigkeit des Sicherheitssektors des Landes zu stärken. Erhebliche Auswirkungen hat der Krieg gegen die Ukraine auch im südlichen Kaukasus. In der ehemaligen Sowjetrepublik Armenien spitzt sich die Situation zu; auch weil Russlands Krieg in der Ukraine in der Region ein erhebliches Vakuum hinterlassen hat. Armenien hat dem von der Türkei unterstützten Aserbaidschan am 18. November auf der OSZE-Tagung vorgeworfen, einen neuen Krieg vorzubereiten. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Bergkarabach, sondern um die Region Nachitschewan. Droht dort, an der Grenze zur Türkei, der nächste Krieg? Damit sich strukturelle Probleme wie bei der früheren EU-Osterweiterung nicht wiederholen, seien eine Reihe von Reformen in der Europäischen Union nötig. Kikalishvili betont, Reformprozess und Erweiterung sollten parallel stattfinden. Dass diese EU-Reformen schmerzhaft sein könnten, habe Bundesaußenministerin Annalena Baerbock wie kein deutscher Außenminister zuvor bemerkenswert offen angesprochen. Dabei geht es unter anderem um Änderung des Einstimmigkeitsprinzips und Finanz- und Beitrittsfragen. Für die Staaten zwischen Europa und Asien, die ums Überleben kämpfen, bleibe neben allen militärischen Fragen ein Hauptthema: „Sie wollen zurück in die Europäische Familie“, sagt Kikalishvili. Sie versprächen sich Sicherheit von der EU, ja, aber umgekehrt bedeute die Sicherheit dieser Staaten auch Sicherheit für Europa. Wenn Freiheit und Frieden dort Bestand haben, so Kikalishvili, macht das Europa stark.

- Sự kiện được dư luận chú ý, đó là việc Ba Lan, một trong những đồng minh thân cận nhất của Ukraine trong Liên minh châu Âu cho biết sẽ ngừng gửi vũ khí tới Kiev. Quyết định của Ba Lan được cho là do là bởi những căng thẳng bùng lên do lệnh cấm nhập khẩu của Ba Lan, Slovakia và Hungary với ngũ cốc Ukraine khiến Ukraine nộp đơn khiếu nại lên Tổ chức Thương mại Thế giới (WTO). Căng thẳng trong vấn đề xuất khẩu ngũ cốc đã khiến nhiều người đặt câu hỏi về tính bền vững trong mối quan hệ Ba Lan – Ukraine, hình ảnh thu nhỏ của tình đoàn kết châu Âu với Ukraine trong cuộc đối đầu với Nga.

In this episode Brendan and Charelle look at the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine one year after it started. Joined by Anna Herranz-Surrallés and Giselle Bosse, both Associate Professors at Maastricht University, they explore how the conflict has affected Ukraine and the EU. They also look at how the relationship between EU-Ukraine and EU-Russia have evolved since the beginning of the conflict, as well as the consequences of the EU's reaction, and the impact it had on the way the EU operates as a global actor.

Bohdan Ferens, founder of the SD Platform of Ukraine answers questions by László Andor, FEPS Secretary General, about the shock of the invasion in February 2022, and the dynamics of war that has devastated Ukraine by triggering large-scale emigration and resulted in a destruction of productive assets, physical infrastructure, and natural environment alike. They assess the development of EU—Ukraine relations, the various forms of solidarity but also the deficits in support. No illusions are created about the possibilities of the next phase of the war, but hope is expressed that the joint effort to repel the Russian aggression opens a new chapter not only in the history of Ukraine but also that of the European integration.

Những vấn đề mà Tổng thống Ukraine đề cập trong các cuộc gặp riêng rẽ với các nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu như Tổng thống Pháp Macrong, Chủ tịch HĐ châu Âu Charles Michel đã làm nảy sinh những tranh cãi trong nội bộ châu Âu về việc tiếp tục ủng hộ Ukraine trong cuộc xung đột với Nga, dù vấn đề này từng được bàn khá kỹ tại Hội nghị thượng đỉnh EU – Ukraine tại Kiev tuần trước.

What future for Ukraine in Europe? Ahead of the EU-Ukraine summit following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, I spoke with Atlantic Council Europe Center Distinguished Fellow Gérard Araud on the relationship between the EU and Ukraine for a special Debrief. What role will there be for the European Political Community in Ukraine's plan to join the European Union? How would existing EU policies, particularly those in agriculture, be impacted by Ukraine's accession? Can we expect Ukraine's accession to the EU anytime soon? Who is opposed to Ukraine's accession?

The Vienna Forum is a joint initiative between the Florence School of Regulation and the Energy Community Secretariat and is designed to highlight issues topical both for the EU and the Energy Community. This year’s Forum is divided into 3 sessions. In the first session, representatives from the Commission, the Energy Community and academia discuss the newly created EU’s Energy Union, its future role and its relevance to the Energy Community. The second session centers on decarbonisation and renewable policies. In particular, we discuss the optimal design of RES support schemes and national experiences with certificate markets. The third session addresses law enforcement in the Energy Community. The seminar closes with a roundtable discussion “Ukraine – an Energy Hotspot” bringing together energy regulators, investors, and experts in foreign affairs, diplomacy and the EU-Ukraine energy relations. 00 Welcome and introduction 00a Dirk Buschle | Energy Community Secretariat 00b Keynote speech, The Energy Community – the new pan-European energy governance, Helmut Schmitt von Sydow | University of Lausanne 01 Session 1 Energy – The State of the Union.

The recent crisis in Ukraine has been widely portrayed in the West as a rerun of the Cold War, with a peaceful pro-EU Ukraine being pulled apart as the result of an aggressive and newly expansionist Russia seeking to re-establish hegemony over its neighbourhood. Russia’s annexing of the Ukrainian region of Crimea has been roundly condemned as violating international law, state sovereignty, democracy and causing the most serious crisis in European security since the end of the Cold War. The situation is complicated, however, by the close historic ties between Russia and Ukraine and the fact that many Russian-speaking Ukrainians want to maintain them, as well as the fact that Crimea was actually part of Russia within living memory.Significantly, however, in recent decades Russia has tended to cite the importance of national sovereignty in opposition to Western-led foreign interventions; this is the first time it has accepted the idea that sovereignty can be overridden by other concerns. So is this the beginning of a newly aggressive Russian foreign policy, or is Ukraine a special case?Some commentators have presented a different narrative from the Western one of Russian expansionism, pointing to European and American actions in the run-up to the crisis, such as US senator John McCain’s visit to anti-government protesters in Kiev’s Maidan before the fall of the government. It is argued that the EU and the American directly intervened with the effect of destabilising Ukraine by delegitimising an elected government and effectively hand-picking a new government, alarming many Ukrainians, in particular those in the Crimea and other Russian-speaking areas. Appeals to Ukrainian national sovereignty are further complicated by the fact that anti-Russian Ukrainians’ desire to join the EU arguably means swapping client status with one bigger power for another.So who is right? How should we understand the current crisis over Ukraine? Is it a new Cold War provoked by Russian aggression or do we need to look closer to home to understand the causes?SPEAKERSProfessor Ivan Krastev Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia; permanent fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in ViennaDr Tara McCormack lecturer in international politics, University of Leicester; author, Critique, Security and Power: the political limits to emancipatory approachesWill Vernon producer, BBC News (speaking in a personal capacity)Dr Kataryna Wolczuk reader in politics and international studies, University of BirminghamCHAIRBruno Waterfield Brussels correspondent, Daily Telegraph; co-author, No Means No
