Explaining the launch and design of the EU’s military assistance mission to Ukraine³¹

In October 2022, the EU established a military assistance mission in support to Ukrainian armed forces (EUMAM Ukraine). The decision to launch the mission runs contrary to what one would intuitively expect from the EU, considering member states’ traditional divisions on Russia, alternative training initiatives, Ukraine’s lacklustre position and the mission’s unconventional design. Despite the growing literature on the EU’s response to Russian aggression, this puzzle has so far been overlooked. While a reformulation of EU member states’ security preferences driven by the heightened threat of an aggressive Russia is certainly necessary to explain the creation of EUMAM Ukraine, we argue that the launch and design of the mission can only be fully understood through a neofunctionalist approach, taking into account the effect of functional pressure and the activism of EU actors. The article shows how the EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy and the European External Action Service seized an initiative from member states and set the foundation for the mission of unprecedented scope and complexity. This finding illustrates the importance of Brussels-based actors in driving EU security and defence policy forward in times of existential security crisis in Europe.

Dr. Joachim Weber in an interview with N-TV: Washington acts “like a bunch of chickens”³⁹

First Trump publicly discredits Ukraine President Zelensky, then he defends him from Putin. And the US President's course can hardly be “assessed on the basis of logic and reason”.

⁴⁷

Hans-Dieter Heumann in Focus Online on the Danger of Flawed Peace Negotiations and False Hopes for Ukraine⁴⁷

The war in Ukraine has not only military but also significant political and strategic consequences for Europe. Experts like Viktoria Boiko and Hans-Dieter Heumann warn against dangerous illusions of a quick peace. They emphasize that Russia has weakened Europe's ability to act through hybrid warfare, which jeopardizes support for Ukraine. An early attempt at peace, when Russia is in a strong position and Ukraine in a weak negotiating position, could have severe consequences for European security.

⁴⁸

Dr. Frank Umbach on WELT: "We have never perceived the strategic dimension of these resource issues."⁴⁸

The geopolitical significance of resources, particularly raw materials, is gaining increasing weight in current global politics. In the case of Ukraine, it is not only the war that is in focus but also the strategic importance of its natural resources, which play a key role in international negotiations and relations. Rumors are circulating that Ukraine might be providing raw materials as "payment" to the United States in exchange for their support. These speculations raise questions about long-term geopolitical strategy and require a nuanced consideration.

⁴⁹

Dr. Frank Umbach zur Ukraine⁴⁹

The geopolitical situation surrounding Ukraine is closely tied to the power interests and conflicts of other states, particularly Russia and Iran. Russia has formed a strategic partnership with Iran in the Syrian conflict, but tensions exist due to Russia's insufficient intervention to stabilize the regime of Bashar al-Assad. At the same time, Iran is increasingly becoming a threat as it is on the path to acquiring a nuclear weapons option. These geopolitical tensions also impact Ukraine and the international support it receives, especially when compared to other European countries like the UK and Germany.
