POLICY PAPER | Přetrvávající válka na Ukrajině: Bezpečnostní důsledky pro Evropu

February 20, 2023

Orsolya Ráczová píše o tom, že je obtížné s jistotou předpovědět dlouhodobé dopady války, přesto je nezbytné uvědomit si skutečnost, že čím déle válka pokračuje, tím je její dlouhodobý dopad hrozivější.

Je rovněž nezbytné najít správnou rovnováhu k zajištění bezpečnosti doma a současně k poskytování tolik potřebné podpory Ukrajině.
