Excerpts from the speech Yurii ANDRIICHUK — Director of the Center for Strategic Analysis and Environmental Security at a roundtable discussion held by the Institute for Global Politics on „Problems and Prospects for Creating a New European Security System in the Context of Russia’s Aggressive Foreign Policy” on December 11, 2025.
- Today, the European system is experiencing its deepest crisis since World War II.
- Today, Ukraine is the most heavily mined country in Europe.
- This poses a strategic threat to the food and environmental security of the entire European continent.
- We are trying to create the first international center for humanitarian demining in Eastern Europe.
- We propose a new approach to demining as an element of European security, not just as a technical operation.
- Today, Ukraine is forming a new philosophy of European security through environmental security and a shared readiness to resist aggression.
