Deterring the War: Defanging Russia

September 23, 09:15-10:30

Europe’s rearmament and America’s strategic realignment require new military strategies to deliver deterrence and defence for the ongoing confrontation with Russia. This session will examine how current plans, command structures and forces contribute to deterrence and defence and consider how NATO Allies might adjust doctrines, enhance military readiness and capabilities, and strengthen broad security architectures to better meet the current geopolitical landscape and the long-term threat posed by Russia.
