Can I suggest that readers of this blog also read the article in The Economist, which was published today? It reads as a companion piece to Timothy's post. One quote from the article 'But Ukrainian civil-society groups’ biggest worry about reconstruction is not that there will too little money, but rather that it will not be well spent and much of it will be embezzled, according to a recent survey conducted by Chatham House, a British think-tank.'
Agreed. Once the guns in this war are still, we will have to think about what kind of society the Ukrainians will make for themselves. This is a chance to launch, in a "big bang" a modern European state. When the Ukrainians no longer unite around defeating Russia, what will bind them?
Great to hear the Ukrainians still loved Boris on arrival and quite rightly. From what he did early on in the conflict you could argue all those grandees wouldn’t be there today if the conference even took place at all. Boris half bounced the west into this war and the Ukrainians know it.
