Europe must base its action on established policies or agreed upon principles. Germany's attempt to apses putin by denying Ukraine the weapons it requested of them did not buy them any favor with russia or the US.

Ukraine should study China's Five Year Planning and implement a plan cycle that is independent of the political cycle.
The plan can be bottom up or top down but it must allow for realism and practicality regardless of the flow.
