Behind the scenes

Who actually decides this?

Full breakdown →
  1. Step 1

    European Commission

    Proposes

    The Commission is the only one that can write a new EU law from scratch. Think of them as the ones drafting the group chat message.

  2. Step 2

    European Parliament

    Amends & debates

    MEPs you actually voted for read the draft, argue about it, and suggest changes. This is where things get loud.

  3. Step 3

    Council of the EU

    Also amends

    Ministers from each EU country weigh in for their government. They want changes too, usually different ones than Parliament.

  4. Step 4

    Parliament + Council

    Sign off together

    They lock themselves in a room (the ‘trilogue’) with the Commission until they agree on one final text. Both have to say yes, or nothing happens.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently revealed the establishment of a new military unit. This unit's primary objective is to conduct long-range strikes deep inside Russia.

Zelenskyy described the unit as having a "long-range, effectively global, impact on Russia." This move marks a potential evolution in Ukraine's defense strategy as the conflict continues.

The specifics regarding the unit's composition, its exact operational capabilities, and the types of weaponry it will employ have not been fully disclosed. However, the announcement suggests an intention to target key locations within Russia.

This development comes as Ukraine continues to seek advanced military assistance from its international partners, including EU member states. The ability to strike further into Russian territory could influence future aid discussions.

The decision to form such a unit could have significant implications for the ongoing conflict. It might lead to a more intense phase of engagements between Ukraine and Russia.

International observers are closely watching how this new strategy will unfold and its potential impact on regional stability. The European Union has been a strong supporter of Ukraine, and this escalation might bring new considerations for its foreign policy.

The establishment of this unit underscores Ukraine's determination to defend its sovereignty and exert pressure on Russia. It represents a strategic shift intended to move beyond defensive operations.

This new focus on long-range capabilities could also influence internal debates within Russia regarding the conflict. The direct threat to Russian territory might alter public perception or strategic decisions there.
