The global transition to electric vehicles is beginning to unravel the way major changeovers often do: slowly at first, then all at once. This week brought a cascade of signals that the EV era is entering a more uncertain, more contested phase.

Ukraine is running out of money. Europe has a plan that would largely balance the books, win it a seat in the U.S.-led negotiations to end the war and equip Kyiv to seek better terms for peace.
