Ukraine agitates to keep EU bid on Europe’s mind

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:51 GMT

Ukraine may still be dominating the news cycle in Europe. But in Kyiv, there are jitters that its bid to join the EU is slipping off the front page. An informal update on the process from Brussels widely expected in April is more likely to arrive in late May, according to EU and Ukrainian officials. It’s poor timing for Kyiv, which is now also quarreling with some of its closest EU allies over a glut of Ukrainian grain shipments that depressed local prices and left farmers fuming. The incidents are crystallizing a difficult reality for Kyiv: Joining the EU was always going to be hard. It will take time for Brussels to sort through the logistics. It will be difficult to maintain political support during the bureaucratic lulls. And countries will be increasingly anxious about the economic turbulence that may result from integrating more than 40 million Ukrainians and their major industries into the EU. On the logistics front, EU officials close to the membership process...

Pat Leonard: Some teams might survive a Saquon Barkley regular season holdout, but these Giants couldn’t

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:28:51 GMT

There are a lot of NFL teams that could survive a player like Saquon Barkley holding out into the regular season, not playing and being disgruntled when he did return to the team.But the Giants aren’t one of them.The contract standoff makes sense from the team’s perspective for plenty of reasons:Barkley plays running back. He already has an extensive injury history. Some of his fundamentals are either poor (pass blocking) or overrated (pass-catching) in critical areas.All of that undermines his argument that he should be paid like one of the league’s two best backs, if not the top five.But Barkley’s value to the 2023 Giants specifically is greater than it would be to a lot of other teams.Despite his flaws, Barkley remains the best playmaker on a roster that has not sufficiently upgraded the offense around quarterback Daniel Jones yet.Did you know that the Giants had a 6-1 record in Barkley’s seven best rushing games last season with him being their best...
