Tuesday 9 April 2025 @ 11:00 - 13:00

On Tuesday, ECR MEP and Chairman of the Eastern Frontline Group, Reinis Poznaks, will host a roundtable discussion focusing on building a coalition of the willing in the face of Russia aggression in Europe.

As the EU defines its long-term role in global security, MEPs are increasingly called to shape clear and credible positions on Russia, Ukraine, and the future Euro-Atlantic security architecture. This high-level discussion presents a concise, evidence-based overview of Russia’s internal dynamics and the strategic options ahead for the EU and NATO.
