Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has led the security agenda of Ukraine to become wider, deeper, more complex and nuanced and, of course, more acute. The most acute part of this agenda relates to the Russian occupation and continued war against Ukraine, but other highly important parts relate for instance to Ukraine's relations with international organisations (such as NATO and the EU) and with domestic security reforms.

This seminar offers a discussion of some of these aspects of the wider security developments in and around Ukraine.
