Putin May Not Like How He’s Changed Europe: Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has transformed Europe within a matter of weeks. A continent once fractured by the refugee crisis is now taking in millions of refugees. Countries such as Germany have made considerable pledges to increase military spending. The European Union said it would cut off Russian oil and gas “well before 2030” — a once unthinkable prospect.

And nationalist movements — Brexit in Britain, the Five Star Movement in Italy and others — have become by The Ezra Klein Show
