Details
The war in Ukraine is a game-changer which questions the post-cold war project of a united and converging Euro-Atlantic space. The settlement of the war in Ukraine will reshape the European Security Architecture along new lines. It will also create an opportunity to address other unresolved crisis situations such as frozen conflicts and territorial disputes.
Though premature at this time, with a return to more stability in the region, the difficult process of rebuilding confidence will have to begin. It is our responsibility to explore all opportunities to reach that point.
