„In the long run, going through all these crises like Brexit before, then the pandemic and now the war in Ukraine makes European countries cooperate better and deeper. This is also the paradox of war. If we want to describe the general state of feeling, especially in countries like Poland, it is worth noting that they are on the eastern flank of NATO. We have a border with Russia and Russia is a threat to us. Consequently, we have to strengthen our positions, there is no other way”. – explained Dr Malgorzata Bonikowska, President of CIR – CSM at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi in the panel „Inside the EU: Politics, Populism, and Potential Peril.” [23.02.2024]
