[FR] Euroquestions #55 | European foreign and defence policy put to the test by the war in Ukraine

One year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the European Union and its member states are seeing their defence and foreign policy systems turned upside down. While NATO’s role has been reaffirmed in a matter of days, the EU’s security and defence policy remains unclear. Should European defence be buried now that NATO is more popular than ever? How can we rethink a common strategy for 27 countries when war is on our doorstep? What about the strategic compass in the face of reality? What about the challenges in the Mediterranean and Europe’s southern neighbourhood? Is the geopolitical Europe that von der Leyen championed at the beginning of her term in office now taking shape?
We are pleased to welcome Nicole Gnesotto, Vice-President of the Jacques Delors Institute and specialist in international affairs.
