👇my thoughts on Europe's stake in Trump's erratic, siloed and stalled Ukraine diplomacy.
Trump is distracted and Ukraine wants Europe to step up. The continent’s leaders must find their voice and assert it in talks with Russia, writes @AdeCar. Read her take on why Europeans must take charge of their diplomacy with Moscow. carnegieendowment.org/europe…

We highly appreciate your deep reading of the briefing & welcome further conversation on our principal recommendation encouraging dialogue by Chisinau, as far as possible, with Transnistria and Gagauzia. To clarify @CrisisGroup's main findings on points you raise 👇
Recent @CrisisGroup report on Moldova contains two dozen factual mistakes, significant omissions, skewed language. Good research is supposed to help conflict settlement. Bad research leading to bad analysis - hampers it.

The parallel eruption of riots in refugee-dense neighborhoods in Turkey and in SNA-controlled territories in northwest Syria highlights the complex bind Ankara finds itself in. 1/4
