The Ukrainian crisis has become the most pressing security-policy issue in Europe. It has brought a dramatic deterioration in relations between the West and Russia, and has challenged the security-policy approaches of multilateral institutions as well as individual states.

The project, financed by the Ministry of Defence, is recently completed and has resulted in two Working Papers and two Policy Briefs.
