Crisis Talk on 17 March 2022

The war in Ukraine marks a turning point in European peace and security policy. Russia's attack on its sovereign neighbor is a blatant breach of international law and is causing great human suffering in Ukraine. The response of the European Union and its partners was swift and is a strong sign of the West's unity. At the same time, it is important to reflect on what this war of aggression means for the European and international peace order of the future. How to deal with a nuclear power that threatens and invades its neighbors? What can a basis for peaceful coexistence look like and what defense policy conclusions does Europe draw?
