@ditrych.bsky.socialPleased to convene our third annual Black Sea Security Seminar @euiss.bsky.social, this year together in excellent cooperation with Romania Permanent Rep. We focused on how people and infrastructure in this key strategic corridor can be safer and more resilient against Russia's hostile activities.
@euiss.bsky.socialReposted by @ditrych.bsky.socialFrom grain routes & energy supplies to undersea cables, Black Sea security has direct implications for Europe amid Russia's continued destabilisation. Our Black Sea Security seminar focused on the next steps in implementing the EU’s strategic approach to the region.
@euiss.bsky.socialReposted by @ditrych.bsky.socialThe #Arctic is not just a source of Russian power. It is a vulnerability Europe can exploit.
As the EU rethinks its Arctic policy, @ditrych.bsky.social argues for 2 priorities: constrain the revenues funding Russia’s war & counter Moscow’s hybrid campaigns.
@euiss.bsky.socialReposted by @ditrych.bsky.social#SOTEU: Europe is facing "cognitive warfare"
To protect Europeans' ability to think critically & freely, the EU must embed cognitive security across all levels of its security policy & address the vulnerabilities that make manipulation possible.

@euiss.bsky.socialReposted by @ditrych.bsky.socialToday’s #SOTEU touched on several questions EUISS has been working on closely: Europe’s security architecture, how to sustain support for Ukraine & the strategic enablers Europe still lacks.
Some of our proposals ↓
@ditrych.bsky.socialThe new 🇪🇺 Arctic strategy should pave the way to peaceful, fair and sustainable development of the #Arctic. Better constraining and countering (C2) Russia here would help on all fronts.
