What Russia’s New Mediterranean Posture Means for NATO

Tue. September 28th, 2021
Live Online

Over the past decade, Russia has reinforced its position in and around the Mediterranean, combining a strengthened defensive posture with renewed global ambitions. The political and security ramifications of Moscow’s activities extend beyond the region and directly concern NATO, insofar as they disrupt the Euro-Atlantic defense architecture.

To meet these challenges while refocusing the alliance’s military and political priorities, NATO member states will need to overcome internal divisions and respond in a concerted, efficient manner.

Join Kristina Kausch, Maxim Suchkov, and Sinan Ülgen to discuss Russia’s enhanced military posture and its consequences for NATO. Marc Pierini will moderate.
