Abstract
Our final chapter assesses how the EU was changed by the aggression of Ukraine in February 2022; the transformative effects of this event on the division of competences between the EU and its Member States and across several EU policy fields are scrutinised. We provide an overview of the findings yielded by our exploration of each of these policy fields, accompanied by a determination of the magnitude of their impact on EU governance and the institutional balance between the Commission and the Council. The contribution of the Court of Justice to preserving the effectiveness of restrictive measures while respecting the rule of law is also highlighted.
