| description |
Russia’s invasion on Ukraine in 2022 has undeniably escalated security threats in the region, marked by heightened geopolitical tensions and increased militarization. However, the war has also catalyzed a strengthening of security frameworks and cooperation in Europe. North Atlantic Treaty Organisation’s (NATO) commitment to the region has intensified, and the European Union (EU) has taken significant strides towards a more cohesive defense strategy. This dual effect of the war presents a complex scenario where immediate risks are coupled with long-term strategic enhancements. The EU finds itself at a crossroads, grappling with the immediate need to support Ukraine while also contemplating the long-term ramifications of the conflict on its enlargement policies and neighborhood relations. How can peace in Europe be preserved in the face of an unpredictable, nuclear-armed state? Moreover, what are the implications for European security should Ukraine loses its independence or Russia experiences a systemic collapse? Europe appears regrettably unprepared for the resurgence of 19th-century power dynamics and realpolitik, exemplified by Russia’s aggressive actions.
