EU-China Relations and the Future of Multipolarity. What Is Germany’s Choice?

... developments around Ukraine, but did not lead to satisfactory results for the EU. Given that the pan-European line is acquiring a distinct protective character, it could be amended by the member states that are the stakeholders of the dialogue, primarily Germany.

... dearest father, …. We were going to go out and, all of a sudden, planes came and – rum, rum – the bombs fell without any alarm. And from then on things became very unsettled and we heard the very loud artillery fire. …. and wanted to go back to Germany, because it was high time.
