Dutch Lawmakers Approve E.U. Trade Deal With Ukraine
The Dutch parliament approves a free trade area with Ukraine. Netherlands was the last country to approve this agreement. Populists of eusoskeptic views won a referendum in April 2016 leading to the agreement passed by the other 27 countries of the EU being modified to accomodate the euroskeptics- who pushed the view of Ukraine as another corrupt country that Netherlands tax payers would have to support. The agreement for a free trade area for EU and Ukraine itself was a result of the popular sentiment in Kiev and western Ukraine in favor of closer ties to the European Union, that led to protests in 2013-2014 and the election of pro-EU Petroshenko as president. Russia opposed the move, leading to the support of a Russia rebel movement in the eastern part of Ukraine. The Dutch elections of 2017 led to Dutch voters supporting prime minister Rutte's effort to support the European Union in helping Ukraine with economic ties. This puts Netherlands back into the core EU nations such as France, Germany, Spain and Italy, that back Ukraine and oppose Russian moves.

For Ukraine the crisis has one positive aspect of assistance on better terms and prospect of recovery under guidance from the EU, and possibly the IMF. Before the crisis the EU faced with its own financial difficulties in the eurozone was reluctant to commit large scale assistance. A pro-western government in Kiev dependent on the EU, makes it easier for the EU to design the package so that the assistance works, and necessary conditions are provided by the Ukrainian government. Previous administrations in Kiev were mired in corruption, mismanagement of the economy, and Russian meddling or pressure, which the new government has the chance to avoid this time. Long term this could also offer the prospect of Ukraine- without the Russian speaking Crimea- joining the European Union.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
