Aggression on Ukraine:Lining up the West
15 March 2022, 10.00 CETZoom & Jable Castle*
Register here.
Yet again history makes its mark on Europe. The war in Ukraine, instigated by Russia, will have a lasting impact on European security. The conflict, which has broader geopolitical implications, could signal a beginning of growing instability in various other regions such as Balkans, South China Sea, or Taiwan. Furthermore, the conflict could spill over into EU countries. The international order based on the equality of sovereign countries is crumbling before our eyes. Simultaneously we are witnessing unity and vigour of the European Union and NATO in its responses to the Russian aggression. Europe is uniting and the Transatlantic partnership is reinvigorated. Security is again at the forefront and the European Security Architecture is and has to change drastically.
What are the consequences of the war in Ukraine for European security? What are the broader geopolitical implications of Russian aggression in Ukraine? Can we expect spill over effects and where? Are the EU and NATO doing enough?
