How to Secure Further EU Unity Against the Russian Threat

At the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, Poland’s outspoken Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski sat down with British journalist Nick Gowing to discuss Europe’s - and the West’s - response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

They discussed the EU’s troubles at unity against russian aggression and becoming more resilient to foreign interference, which ranges from military capacity to allowing russian interference in election campaigns and public discourse. His sobering takeaway: The war will be decided on economic capacity, so the issue is who will outlast whom. And Ukraine cannot outlast Russia without the West’s support.

Is this the end of the post - Cold War era? This existential challenge will define our children’s future, Sikorski concludes.
