Can Kasapoğlu participates on a panel during a European Policy Centre event to discuss how Russia’s war on Ukraine has transformed the Black Sea region into a front line of European and global security. The discussion emphasizes that securing the Black Sea is a regional priority and a global necessity. The panelists also explain how the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (particularly its littoral states), the European Union, and Ukraine will be central to shaping any future security arrangement.
