On April 7th, New Strategy Center and Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) organized the event „The War in Ukraine and its Consequences on the Eastern Flank. Acting as One”. The debate was moderated by MG (Ret.) Leonardo Dinu, member of the Scientific Council of the New Strategy Center, with the participation of LTG (Ret.) Ben Hodges, Pershing Chair for Strategic Studies, CEPA, US and CAPT (N) (Ret.) Steve Horrell, Senior Fellow at the Transatlantic Defense and Security Center for European Policy Analysis, US, as speakers. The conclusions of the discussion were presented by Lauren Speranza, Director, Transatlantic Defense and Security, CEPA, US.
Topics such as Russia’s actions in Ukraine and the impact of this invasion on NATO’s Eastern Flank were addressed, as well as allies’ efforts to counter this threat. Participants made an assessment of both Russia’s initial objectives at the beginning of the aggression in Ukraine and Moscow’s future course of action in the current context. It has also been considered how the North Atlantic Alliance can strengthen the Eastern Flank.
