Friends in a Storm: A Frank Dialogue on Europe’s Uncertain Future

Europe’s Changing Security Landscape: A dialogue on defence capabilities, responsibility and the future of the international order between Riga and Berlin

The panel discussion in Riga focused on the pressing issue of European defence readiness and strategic autonomy in the face of global flashpoints such as the war in Ukraine and hybrid threats

NATO’s nuclear deterrence

High level seminar on Strategic Implications of Russia’s Nuclear Weapons for NATO’s Military Support of Ukraine and the Defence of the Baltic States

Key takeaways are that western societies need to discuss these topics, raising the “Nuclear IQ” of the population and not to avoid these hard but necessary questions, while Russia becomes increasingly aggressive in its nuclear rhetoric. This was also echoed to several media outlets, with our guests giving interviews for Lithuanian news outlets and television.
