Panel discussion entitled: “On the path to NATO membership: Ukraine as a security guarantor for Europe”

Topics of focus:

– Security obligations of Ukraine’s partners – a way to make them meaningful;
– What to do with russian nuclear terrorism?
– How to set up procedures to get results at the Washington Summit?
– Ukraine’s security guarantees for Europe

Why this is interesting:
The 2013 Vilnius Eastern Partnership Summit launched tectonic shifts in Europe’s politics and security, regardless of the wishes or fears of individual states and politicians. The 2023 Vilnius NATO Summit ended with rather compromising political declarations, even though current security requirements call for drastic decisions, where thousands of lives and the basic foundations of the democratic world hang in the balance.
