Europe still needs a security council

The creation of a European Security Council could be the right answer to growing uncertainty on the continent and beyond. Such a new format would be a signal to both allies and adversaries that Europe takes its own security seriously.

How Ukraine’s Kursk operation challenges non-western countries to come out

Beijing and other non-western capitals’ calls for a ceasefire and negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv have, after the Ukrainian occupation of Russian lands, acquired new meaning. A Chinese or other non-western push for a Russo-Ukrainian accommodation could lead now to meaningful peace talks.

Europe in the age of uncertainty

As long as we have different narratives concerning the real meaning of Russia’s war in Ukraine, the European Union will not be able to act as a coherent and pro-active geopolitical player. The EU should attempt to find a common language to talk about the war and its implications. Only then will we be able to uphold security across the continent, both for ourselves and our partners.

The recent meeting of the UN General Assembly proved to be a focal point for all the uncertainties the world is currently facing: the ineffectiveness of multilateralism; impunity for aggression and violations of international law; and increasing problems related to climate change and sustainable development goals. In short, the international rules-based order as perceived in the West is under threat with major uncertainties as a consequence.

Securing stability: powering Ukraine’s defence production surge

The topic of western aid for Ukraine remains a key issue in politics today. In spite of this, the war-torn country is now starting to build up its own defence industry. With the help of allies, this effort could help secure essential supplies for Kyiv.

Hard Labour: Britain’s new government looks eastward

The start of July saw Britain elect a Labour government for the first time in well over a decade. While promising change to voters at home, a level of continuity still appears to dominate London’s foreign policy. This is particularly true regarding the region, with a desire to overcome the tensions of Brexit adding nuance to well-established support for Ukraine.

Navigating new security threats requires a change in focus

Czechia, together with its neighbours Poland and Slovakia, joined the European Union 20 years ago, a time when the security landscape in Europe looked completely different. Today the threats now faced by the Czechs and their neighbours require a completely new approach and mindset. Only then can the values enshrined in the EU treaty be truly protected.

The European Security Strategy was adopted in December 2003 and has become a landmark in the development of the EU’s foreign and security policy. For the first time, the member states agreed on a joint threat assessment and set clear objectives for advancing their security interests, which are all based on shared values. Twenty years since the adoption of the security strategy, the EU carries greater responsibilities than at any time in its history as it faces new, increasingly complex threats and challenges.

Six obstacles for a negotiated settlement between Kyiv and Moscow

Recent months have seen an increase in discussions concerning possible negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. Despite this, many deep-rooted issues will likely make any discussions futile in the current circumstances. The West must subsequently help Kyiv gain the greatest leverage possible on the battlefield for any kind of negotiated resolution in the future.

Strengthening strategic communication in Poland amidst new threats

The landscape of strategic communication in Poland has evolved significantly, spurred by the emergence of digital threats and the geopolitical tensions plaguing Europe and NATO’s Eastern Flank especially. As Poland grapples with the shadow of Russian aggression, the need for a cohesive and effective approach to strategic communication has never been more pressing.

North to the future?

After decades of enforced neutrality, Finland became a member of NATO in April last year, thereby almost doubling the Alliance’s land border with Russia. Helsinki's accession represents a radical change in Nordic and Baltic security. The country brings to NATO not only enormous combat potential and knowledge of Russia but also a strategic location.
