WARSAW WEEK 2024: A TRANSATLANTIC AGENDA FOR AN ERA OF CONFLICT AND CONFRONTATION - Europe’s relationship with defense has fundamentally shifted from a more cautious approach to one focused on developing greater capacity to both support Ukraine and prepare for potential conflict on the continent.

This event was held in Poland as part of the Atlantic Council's Warsaw Week.
