In Ukraine, collaboration cases aren’t always clear-cut

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:59:23 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe.KYIV — Fifty-eight-year-old Viktor Kyrylov told the Shevchenkivskyi District Court in Kyiv he didn’t see himself as a collaborator, and that’s why he remained in Kherson when Russian forces retreated from the Ukrainian city last year. The judge, however, thought differently, and last month, Kyrylov was handed a 12-year prison term for working as a police driver for Russian occupation authorities.“I worked as a driver; drove an investigation team, repaired cars. The situation was difficult. There was no work. There was banditry and marauding. I thought I was helping the people of Kherson to protect public order,” Kyrylov told the court. “It’s not like I was fighting against Ukraine,” he added, explaining that the Russian-appointed investigators he drove handled “family scandals, robberies, marauding” and weren’t “chasing guerrillas.”Kyrylov’s is just one of the many collaboration — and treason — cases that have been cramming Uk...

Reality TV can make or break a politician (unless you’re Donald Trump)

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:59:23 GMT

Welcome to Declassified, a weekly humor column.Living in Belgium is a giant reality TV show, albeit one designed by people on the strongest of psychedelic drugs. But actual reality television proved too much this week for Georges-Louis Bouchez, leader of the French-speaking Reformist Movement political party, who quit Flemish reality show “Special Forces: Who Dares Wins” after just two episodes. Bouchez’s performance had come under fire because of a perceived lack of team spirit and effort — which sounds exactly like every party’s performance in every Belgian coalition government formation talks but was clearly too much for a bit of telly.“I take responsibility. If the group is punished because of me every time, I can’t continue,” Bouchez said, which also sounds like something a party leader would say after the collapse of Belgian coalition government talks.While we’re on the subject of politicians on reality TV, all eyes during the coronation in the U.K. were on P...

New EU border chief vows to clean up Frontex agency as migrant numbers surge

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:59:23 GMT

BRUSSELS — Europe is facing an increase in migrant arrivals — but the EU border agency will not again turn its back to human rights violations along its borders.That’s the message of Hans Leijtens, the new head of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, also known as Frontex, in an interview with POLITICO. Leijtens, described by some as “a cop with strong diplomatic skills,” started as Frontex’s executive director in March.The Dutchman took office as agency figures show a more than 300 percent increase in migrant arrivals in the Central Mediterranean in the first three months of this year alone.“I became a bit allergic [to] the word crisis,” he said, speaking at the agency’s office in Brussels. “I just see facts and figures. And those worry me — because what I see is a huge rise,” in people crossing the Mediterranean especially.He noted that along other routes, such as the Western Balkans, migrant crossings have decreased. Yet on average across all tracks, the in...

Cracks emerge in one of Erdoğan’s electoral bastions

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:59:23 GMT

SİVAS, Turkey — When asked about the importance of Sunday’s election in Turkey, Hikmet Teker did not mince his words.“He has to go,” the 58-year-old said, standing in his empty barbershop, with a picture of Mecca above the mirror and the air heavy with the cloying scent of cologne. It’s perfectly clear who “he” is, but these are not words you expect to hear too often in the city of Sivas. Nestled in the rugged Anatolian highlands, a 700-kilometer flight east of Istanbul, Sivas is traditionally a bastion of conservative religious support for President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his ruling AK party.But even here cracks are emerging, and they help explain why Erdoğan is now in the battle of his political life. In the shops and cafés only a stone’s throw from the twin 13th-century minarets that dominate the heart of the city, a striking number of people insist that, after two decades at the helm, the strongman has outstayed his welcome.Under tight security — with riflemen on the red-...
