Exclusive conversation with Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice.
Ukraine finds itself in an unprecedented situation: not only must it wage a war to counter the Russian invasion, the country also has to undertake structural reforms to ensure its integration into the European Union, in line with its status as a candidate country. It also hopes to secure its future and protect itself against any future Russian aggression by joining NATO. What progress has been made, and what challenges lie ahead for these transformations? How does the “Victory Plan” combine military, economic and political strategies to secure Ukraine's future and strengthen its defense capabilities? How might it even contribute to strengthening Europe's security and defense?

This "nuclear sharing" arrangement, central to the Alliance since its founding, has long been contested by public opinion, political parties, and civil society across Europe, without ever being abandoned by host governments. This paradox lies at the heart of the seminar: why does such an unpopular policy persist?
