Ukraine in Europe 2023: The Unsustainability of the European Pyramid

Ukrainian refugees now live in Europe under a special status called temporary protection, modelled after a similar status created by the US at the end of the Cold War. While this status offers them privileged benefits, it also exacerbates the difficulties Europe faces, which we illustrate with a deep dive into the German situation. This dilemma was illustrated by the European Commission’s recent meeting in Kiev, which tied the fate of Europe to that of Ukraine, promising more life support but refusing to give a timetable for Ukrainian EU membership.[1] The dynamic shows that the EU’s undemocratic pyramid structure is unsustainable and is becoming more and more of an empty shell.
