The latest chapter in what I call the “Tragedy of the European Union” is that the EU will lose the new Ukraine. The principles that Ukraine is defending – the very principles on which the EU is based – will be abandoned, and the EU will have to spend a lot more money on defending itself than it would need to spend helping the new Ukraine succeed.
我所谓的“欧盟的悲剧”的终章是欧盟输掉新乌克兰。乌克兰所捍卫的原则——即作为欧盟基础的原则——将会被抛弃，欧盟将不得不投入比帮助新乌克兰获得成功更多的钱捍卫它自己。
