๐ท๐บ๐ช๐บ What if Europe had said YES to Putinโs โLisbon to Vladivostokโ vision?
Back in 2011, Putin proposed a massive economic space connecting Europe and Russia, stretching from Lisbon to Vladivostok. The idea included freer trade, capital flows, movement of people, and closer cooperation in energy and industry.
At the time, Europe largely continued pursuing deeper bilateral relationships with former Soviet states, while Russia developed its own Eurasian integration project.
Ukraine eventually became the major flashpoint. The competing visions of closer European integration and Moscow-led cooperation were followed by Euromaidan, Crimeaโs annexation, the Donbas conflict, and ultimately Russiaโs full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Could a different economic path have reduced tensions and created stronger interdependence?
We canโt know.
But the unanswered โwhat if?โ remains one of Europeโs biggest geopolitical questions.
And in crypto, $ZEC
shows how privacy, sovereignty, and decentralization remain important in an increasingly divided world. ๐ก๏ธ
