The future of Russias way of war – SCEEUS Conference

What is the future of Russian war? What can we learn from past and current trends, and which are the Russian vulnerabilities in its warfare? Perhaps most importantly, how can and should the West mobilize to send strong enough signals? These issues were discussed during a two-day conference hosted by SCEEUS on May 22-23.

The event consisted of four main sessions, where the topics of state mobilization, hybrid tools, military reform, and nuclear deterrence were addressed. Some of the recurring themes discussed during the conference were how war and warfare is integrated into the Russian system, and how Europe can be successful in deterring a Russian aggression.
