Eastern border regions are not only national borders.
They are European borders.
Today, we proposed a strategy to support the EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.
Since Russia launched its war of aggression against Ukraine, they have been under growing economic and security pressure.
The strategy helps keep people safe, supports local economies, improves roads, energy and internet connections, and backs communities across these regions.
...and?
@Tuuktuuk @EUCommission The EU is a neo-liberal, imperialist project, Europe is a continent.
They (EU commission etc) use language to try to "other" European peoples who do not take part in EU project.
Ah, so they were trying to other Ukraine here. Is the border between Belgium and Netherlands not an European border?
(Though, yeah, "EU border" would have been a better phrase)
EU is doing a lit of shitty things, but without it we'd have already been in an Europe-wide war decades ago. It's also protecting us from even worse imperialists such as the Russia, the only old colonial empire to still retain 100% of its colonies.
