A New Reality in the Making: Russia’s War on Ukraine and the Future of Euro-Atlantic Security
Presenter(s): Kateryna Shynkaruk
TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY | WASHINGTON DC
October 14 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Russia’s war on Ukraine created a new security reality in Europe. This talk combines a practitioner’s and scholarly perspectives on what was wrong with the ‘old reality’, what factors shaped Eastern Europe’s security ‘grey zone’, and whether the institutional West is gradually responding to this new reality. Kateryna Shynkaruk will discuss the first lessons learned from the exposed challenges and vulnerabilities of Euro-Atlantic security and the contours of a new postwar security order.
