Renew Europe CoR’s podcast ‘Letter from Brussels’ episode 8 is out and takes us to Odessa, Ukraine, to hear the story of the Borys Aleksandrov ship and its unusual naming ceremony. This latest episode of the podcast also includes President Zelenskyy’s inspired plan for reconstruction of Ukrainian cities, news about the city most recently awarded the title of European Capital of Culture, as well as news about the wider Renew Europe political family, and an insight into a Euractiv op-ed article by Renew Europe CoR President François Decoster explaining what would happen if a mayor failed to visit a local school during its refurbishment and how this is relevant to the future of the European Union.
