This Friday, February 6, on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the start of russia's war against Ukraine, the Kyiv Security Forum will hold a special event dedicated to the most pressing topics of war, peace, and security.
Constraining russia, forcing the aggressor to retreat, achieving a just peace – are these goals achievable in 2026 amid global tensions and uncertainty? Is it possible to stop the war? Will we be able to preserve Euro-Atlantic unity? Will the rule of force or the hope for a just order prevail?
