Pardon the ignorance but doesn't this go against the principles of the EU? Like, we made a system that is supposed to be democratic and that requires unanimosity and then we bypass it when the result isn't of our liking? This goes beyond the scope of the specific case of Ukraine, I side for Ukraine, but if we made a system that requires unanimosity in the name of democracy we must follow it, if it proved it doesn't work then it should have been made a majority based system from the get go, or at least changed a while back, not just bypassed because one voice didn't speak like the rest, it defeats the entire purpose of the system
Ok but by doing this we'll basically give Russia ammunition to do propaganda against us, I can already see them going "We love democracy only when it benefits us"
I do worry about what they do, what I'm talking about is that this undermines our credibility and our values. If we show cracks, it will be easier to hit us.
