    Interestingly only in effect during the martial law, an apparent move to prevent a forced puppet government (hence severing all links to Russia). Strikes as a very anti-democratic move, but hard to believe any of this would remain in effect for long post war.

      Ah yes because famously when government grabs power under some pretex they immediately relinquish it when the pretext no longer applies. Just like all the powers US government granted itself during the war on terror were scrapped.

        Relinquishing seems obvious, yes, especially considering their ambition on joining the EU.

          There is no realistic chance of Ukraine joining the EU and everyone knows that.

              It’s not going to happen, that’s the reality. Frankly, the way things are going, I’m not expecting EU to be around too much longer either.

                  It’s only been a month into the economic war and here’s the state of things already. My expectations are already being fulfilled.

                    Then you are easy to please.
                    Living in the EU I can assure you, it is “still around”.
