Ukraine has found itself in dire straits since Russia invaded it in 2022. In the face of immense loss of human life, destroyed critical infrastructure, disrupted trade routes, and seized territory, Ukraine must address not only immediate humanitarian and military needs but also plan for a more resilient future. After positive recommendations for opening EU accession negotiations, European leaders might confirm them on 14-15 December.
