‘Extraordinary times require extraordinary leadership,’ said Daria Kaleniuk, head of the Anticorruption Action Centre in Kyiv (AntAC), last Monday. Having just returned from Washington, she noticed that U.S. support for Ukraine is increasingly politicized. That is why she calls on Europe to take a leading role in supporting Ukraine, and think of its end goal in the war. In her October Lecture for Raam op Rusland she stressed that instead of supporting Ukraine for ‘as long as it takes’, Europe should aim for a quick victory.
