Summary
When Ireland takes over the presidency of the Council of the European Union on July 1, they will have a lot of hot-button issues to deal with. Host Zoya Sheftalovich sat down last week with Irish Minister for European Affairs Thomas Byrne at a POLITICO event to dig deeper into what he believes Dublin’s top priorities will be. We’ll hear from him on the show. Plus, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy may be heading to Poland this week as tensions heat up between Kyiv and Warsaw. We dig deeper into why a tragic event from decades ago is still causing strain between the two countries today. And finally, Europe’s hot ... real hot. As a heatwave hits the continent, Nick and Zoya desperately search for ways to stay cool. Questions? Comments? Send us a voice note or message us on WhatsApp here or at +32 491 05 06 29.
