Europe’s New Challenge: The Battle to Save Ukraine’s Economy

European politicians have been quick to talk about supporting Ukraine but slow to do something about it.

An economic crisis and a failed state on Europe’s eastern periphery would strike at the heart of the EU’s raison d’etre, to promote stability and prosperity across the continent. The choice facing the European Union and its member states is whether to export stability or wait to import instability. Both will bring costs but only one of these options has the potential to leave Europe, and Ukraine, stronger. European leaders should act accordingly.
