Somewhere along the line, Russia's relationship with Ukraine has failed disastrously. I think in Putin's shoes I would want to rebuild it. That is a long term project and will require reciprocity from the Ukraine side, who have very good reasons to be both hostile and suspicious. But these two countries are strongly linked by history, culture and traditions and should be allies. In order to gain that outcome, I'd work something out with Ukraine about the gas supply.

Looking at the migration crisis from the Orban/Salvini standpoint is hypocritical, at best. The problem will worsen gradually due to the dramatic climate changes (which are inevitable) and will cause according to UN estimates, hundreds of millions from South East Asia and Africa migrating and trying to reach Europe.
Right now, Erdogan keeps 3 million Syrian refugees in his bare hands as a human nuclear bomb. Should he decide to detonate it, there will be something the world has never seen before. Also, Egypt seems pretty stable at the moment. If it fails though due to some political turmoil, where do you think 80 million will try to go? Australia?

Not that they don't know it, but the better strategy must be to go for separate deals in other sectors, not one big package. That way they can still get benefits for both countries |

The sectors they're interested in are agriculture and healthcare, the rest are of a lot less consequence. |

I must say, I think their farmers will be screwed, almost whatever happens. Very bad news for a country that can't feed itself. Do any of their bright lights have an answer to this, apart from "zero tariffs" which is something only an imbecile could say? |
