The Centre for Geopolitics is hosting this roundtable discussion as part of the Warsaw Security Forum, taking place on 4-5 October. The Warsaw Security Forum is an invite-only event.

As tension increases in the Baltic, notably around Kaliningrad, this panel will ask whether European nation states, the EU and NATO are capable of understanding, thinking and deciding to act at the speed necessary to deter today’s threats and anticipate tomorrow’s, and will consider how this might be improved.
