Eine »Friedensmission«, die der Kapitulation den Weg ebnen soll

Die Ukraine-Politik von Viktor Orbáns Ungarn

Ungarn verfolgt seit Beginn des Krieges in der Ukraine eine außenpolitische Linie, die weder die in der Ukraine lebenden ethnischen Ungar:innen unterstützt, noch den Interessen der EU, der NATO oder der Ukraine dient. Die sogenannte ungarische »Friedensmission«, einschließlich eines kontroversen Besuchs in Moskau, widerspricht den Positionen von EU und NATO und schwächt die innere Geschlossenheit beider Bündnisse. Gleichzeitig richtet sich Ungarn damit gegen die ukrainische Linie, indem sie faktisch die Abtretung besetzter Gebiete an Russland unterstützt. Einzig Russland würde von dem unverzüglichen Waffenstillstand, den Ungarn vorschlägt, profitieren.

The Human Factor

A conference on demographic change and political economy in the Russian Federation

Demographic decline will have a significant impact on Russia’s economy, society, and security situation in the mid and long term. Russian leaders are failing, however, to establish adequate policy responses in the areas of migration, the labor market, education, and health. An academic conference in Berlin with Jack Goldstone and other distinguished experts addressed the consequences of demographic change in Russia.

Ukraine: A Captured State?

How to Put the Country Back onto the Path to Reform

Fundamental changes have been underway in Ukraine since the Maidan Revolution of 2013–14, but intransigence in the administration and self-serving interests of economic and political elites impede the progress of reform. Stronger pressure from civil society and external actors such as the EU and the US could help foster a transition to genuine democracy. The conference held on May 26 in Berlin devoted particular attention to the current state of reforms and their prospects of success.

Russkiy Mir: "Russian World"

On the genesis of a geopolitical concept and its effects on Ukraine

How is the concept of "Russkiy Mir" (Russian World) influencing the search for national identity in present-day Russia? To what extent will it continue to shape Russian foreign policy in the near future? What role does the concept play in Ukraine? Is it dictating Russia’s policy toward that country? A conversation with the Ukraine expert DGAP’s Wilfried Jilge.

Why Do We Need Ukraine?

DGAP event explores what Ukraine’s democratic transformation means for the EU – and for Russia

As of April 2016, Ukraine’s new prime minister is Volodymyr Groysman, a former speaker of the parliament. His appointment followed the resignation of reform-minded ministers, a government crisis that lasted several weeks, and months of political stalemate. It was over two years ago that demonstrators on Kiev’s Maidan called passionately in their “Revolution of Dignity” for reform and for their country to set a pro-European course. Can the new government put Ukraine back on that path?
