European security has been challenged in 2022 with the full-fledged invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation.
Three years onwards, the future of European security remains uncertain in this part of the continent. Ukraine is still at war and the regional security on the shores of the Black Sea has hit a new low. Also, election results in several EU member states are reshaping the EU’s political landscape and the new Trump administration in the US has signalled that the rule-based multilateral order as we knew it may now be a relic of the past.
