State of the Union: Seven Months Into Putin’s War

Summary:

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proved to be a very capable war-time leader. Putin’s latest invasion of Ukraine on February 24th cemented von der Leyen’s power.  In May, the CER looked at the state of the Union three months into the war. Many things, like the EU’s energy markets, were in turmoil, but others, like the deadlock over migration policy and the dispute over the rule of law, remained unchanged. Four months later, most of these challenges remained, and many had become even more acute.
