Security at a crossroads. How US and Russia push for a new European order through “peace” in Ukraine

For the first time in more than 25 years, a NATO ministerial meeting has taken place without the US Secretary of State attending. Washington’s decision was a clear diplomatic message – one the Alliance would rather not spell out.

Testing NATO’s Limits?

There is little reason to believe that Russia is planning a large-scale war against Berlin, Amsterdam and Paris. However, Russia needs far less to achieve its goals.

Built with doubt and worry: NATO in the second Trump presidency

Declaring that NATO is on the cusp of dying is premature. It is far from moribund. However, while the Alliance will likely persist, this does not mean that it has a clean slate of health.

NATO during the second Trump administration: Actions speak louder than words

Many recent assessments of US foreign policy suggest that the second presidential term of Donald Trump is having a disruptive and potentially destructive impact on transatlantic relations. This is particularly the case regarding NATO’s future and the American commitment to European security. However, fears that the administration will renege on the US commitment to European security and NATO are simply misplaced.

When European security meets reality

Russia’s full-scale military invasion and occupation of Ukrainian territory has flagrantly violated the fragile post-Cold War security ecosystem shaped by the transatlantic community. The intricate structure of European security requires bold and decisive action to establish an effective and credible mechanism of deterrence and response. Such a mechanism must rest upon a multi-level construction of the transatlantic security community.

NATO in times of crisis. Safeguarding the future of the Euro-Atlantic Alliance

At its 2025 summit in The Hague, NATO confronted a pivotal moment, agreeing on a historic pledge to spend five per cent of GDP on defence by 2035. The decision was welcomed by US President Donald Trump and signalled unity. However, it also exposed deep undercurrents of challenges facing the Alliance.

Not all quiet on the Southern Flank

The 2025 NATO summit in The Hague marked a strategic turning point for European and Mediterranean security, compelling Allies to commit to a substantial increase in defence investment. This renewed focus is not solely about countering Russia on the Eastern Flank. It should also provide fresh resources to address enduring vulnerabilities and asymmetries across the South.

Beyond nuclear gradualism: pathways for NATO to enhance deterrence

NATO faces an increasingly complex security environment, marked by Russia's advanced missile capabilities and persistent coercive strategies. How can the Alliance adapt its deterrence posture, integrating both nuclear and conventional means, to remain credible and unified in an era of significant geopolitical flux and evolving strategic stability concepts?

Beyond compromise: towards the Europeanization of NATO’s Eastern Flank

NATO’s post-Cold War enlargement promised a stable and prosperous future for Central and Eastern Europe. Yet compromises meant to accommodate Russia left the Alliance’s Eastern Flank exposed for years. Today, with renewed uncertainty in transatlantic politics, European allies face the challenge of strengthening deterrence without relying too heavily on the United States.

Consequences and complications of Russian drones in NATO airspace

Poland's decision to shoot down Russian aerial assets was unprecedented for NATO’s eastern flank. Despite the limited scale of the provocation, the operation demonstrated that NATO interoperability remains at a high level. In reaction to Russia’s actions, Poland invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty and requested urgent consultations, which took place on September 10th.
