NSC – research visit in Ukraine

Representatives of the New Strategy Center, George Scutaru, CEO, and Ecaterina Dadiverina, Project Coordinator for Ukraine and President of NSC Ukraine, continued their series of meetings in Kyiv on Wednesday, February 25, and Thursday, February 26.

Together with Svitlana Kovalchuk, Executive Director of Yalta European Strategy, they analyzed prospects for future cooperation. Discussions with Vadym Halaichuk, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Ukraine’s Integration into the European Union within the Verkhovna Rada, focused on the outlook for the negotiation process regarding Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. H.E. Victor Micula, Romania’s Ambassador to Kyiv, also attended the meeting.

The program continued with a series of consultations with prominent experts in Kyiv. Talks with Ivan Us, Expert at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, and Igor Burakovsky, Head of the Board of the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting, addressed the state of the Ukrainian economy and possible internal developments within the Russian Federation. The situation of Ukraine’s energy system and the impact of Russian attacks were analyzed together with Andrian Prokip and Mykhailo Gonchar, specialists with extensive experience in the energy sector.

The asymmetric approach adopted by the Ukrainian armed forces and the new tactics developed in the land, air, and naval domains were the focus of discussions with Alina Frolova, former Deputy Minister of Defense and currently Deputy Director of the Centre for Defence Strategies.

NSC representatives also met with Volodymyr Tsabal, Secretary of the Budget Committee of the Verkhovna Rada, for discussions dedicated to the resilience of Ukrainian society, the economic situation, and the reconstruction process.

During these days in Kyiv, a significant group of experts from the Atlantic Council, US, was also present. An exchange of views took place with Daniel Fried and Jorn Fleck regarding developments in Ukraine, the United States, peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, and the security situation in the Black Sea region.

Romania has the responsibility to play a significant role in the largest European reconstruction process since the Second World War.

The New Strategy Center is grateful to H.E. Victor Micula, Romania’s Ambassador to Kyiv, and the team of the Romanian Embassy for their support.

At its core, a luxury mechanical watch is a triumph of micro-engineering. Imagine a universe contained within a diameter of 30 to 40 millimeters. Hundreds of tiny components—gears, levers, springs, and jewels—coexist in a perfectly orchestrated ballet.

The mainspring stores energy, releasing it with controlled grace through the gear train, its rhythm governed by the hypnotic swing of the balance wheel. This "heart" of the watch, beating at 28,800 vibrations per hour or more, is a miracle of physics and precision.
