The Ukraine war highlights the deep strategic folly of Euroscepticism | Rafael Behr
Nato and the EU are the twin pillars of European security, but Britain now has to pretend there is only one, says Guardian columnist Rafael Behr
"Having turned our backs on the European project, we are half the friend to Ukraine that we could be."
And yet at the start of the conflict, we were sending aid to Ukraine, while the EU was dithering about what to do because they'd got too close to Russia.
Yes and that is the point: Britain should be proud to have supported Ukraine early and well. But now it lacks the follow through to think about Ukraine after the war.
