"Macron's French Reset: EU Gathers in Spain Amid Ukraine Concerns"

The European Union is considering a historic rethink of its future, including the potential expansion of the EU to include Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, and several countries in the western Balkans, in order to counter Russia's influence. However, concerns over softening support from allies, particularly the United States, have raised challenges for the EU. The EU is confident of US support for Ukraine, but the timing remains uncertain. The process of expanding the EU is complex and politically perilous, and questions arise about how the bloc will function with new members and deal with current members that do not comply with rules. The target date of 2030 for EU expansion may not be realistic, and careful consideration is needed to determine what is feasible.
