An increasing number of EU leaders have asked Brussels to push forward a fifth package of sanctions against Moscow following the atrocities and “unbearable scenes”, as French President Emmanuel Macron described, of the destroyed Ukrainian town of Bucha.
Several sources from the capitals confirmed to EURACTIV that a trade ban – as Warsaw recently requested – is now on the radar while EU leaders are still divided over gas imports.
At the 24-25 March summit, EU leaders added for the first time in the conclusions a reference to “war crimes” committed by Moscow in Ukraine, preparing the ground for a legal case against Russian leaders. In Warsaw, politicians are also looking at a Nuremberg-style tribunal for Russian politicians involved in the Ukraine invasion.
Danmark är medlem av Nato, men deltar inte i EU:s försvarssamarbete eftersom det är omfattat av ett av Danmarks undantag i EU-samarbetet. Partierna som står bakom försvarsavtalet är dessutom eniga om att vilja ta bort detta undantag. Danmark deltar idag inte i EU:s militära operationer, varken med pengar eller resurser och har inte rösträtt i Ministerrådet gällande försvarspolitiken på grund av detta undantag. Om undantaget ska bort måste det dock först till en folkomröstning. Detta ska ske den 1 juni 2022.

"Germany and Spain have both remained silent publicly on this invitation to join nuclear exercises. However, we are surprised to see that, without any real public debate on the nuclear stakes of this program, they are engaging in an industrial partnership for the FCAS. This Franco-German-Spanish project is the largest armament project of the century. First estimates are of the range of €100 billion of public funds. Already in the 2021-2024 phase (1B), these States will spend €3.5 billion (only for the FCAS); a cost shared equally among them."
The existence of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons - and its entry into force on 22 January 2021 - rang as an earthquake among states possessing or supporting a nuclear deterrence policy, write Jean-Marie Collin, Susi Snyder, and Tuva Widskjold.
