Conclusions of the symposium "Two years of large-scale war: Ukraine's transformation - Europe's security".

On Monday March 25, the symposium "Two years of large-scale war: Transformation of Ukraine - Security of Europe" was held at Inalco, initiated by Dr. Oksana Mitrofanova, research professor at Inalco-CREE and jointly organized by the Inalco Foundation and the Robert Schuman Foundation.

The aim of the symposium was to bring together French, Ukrainian and European diplomats, political leaders, military personnel and researchers to discuss two themes which, in the current context, are taking on major importance: the transformation of Ukraine and the security architecture in Europe.

Throughout the day, the presentations provided food for thought on the European security framework and on the reconstruction of Ukraine, in a context where international balances are in upheaval. The many questions raised helped identify themes to be studied over the long term.
