Ukraine in parliamentary debates
Ukraine in parliamentary debates4
Abstract
The invasion of Ukraine by Russia in early 2022 has caught many
politicians and observers by surprise. A war in Europe, in a
country bordering European Union member states, has led to a
flurry of activities in parliaments, dealing with sanctions,
military support, neutrality, etc. The debates surrounding these
activities have also highlighted divisions and cleavages among
political actors. Relying on speeches in the parliaments of the
Canada, European Union, Poland, Switzerland, and the United States over
the last 14 months allows us to show that important divides
appeared in all four settings, highlighting the pertinent
domestic dynamics.
