We are happy to present the eleventh issue of "Tochki nad U": East European Security Monthly
Key developments in regional security in Eastern Europe in May–June 2023:
- The war in Ukraine has reached a whole new level, while creeping escalation of tensions in the region continues.
- The risks of conflict expansion remain high amid controversy in the West over aid to Ukraine and Kyiv’s place in the Euro-Atlantic security system.
- Belarus’s geostrategic position is further deteriorating now that neighboring Russian regions have become part of the widening area of combat operations. Alongside public statements in Western countries about use-of- force scenarios for Minsk, this pushes Belarus to seek even closer ties with Russia.
- Economically, Russia and the West are incapable of causing each other unacceptable damage.
- Attempts to launch the peace process between Moscow and Kyiv are approaching a new bifurcation point.
