In light of Donald Trump's recent statements encouraging Russia to attack NATO allies that have not met their spending minimums, there are growing concerns about Europe's readiness to defend itself. On this episode of The Eastern Front, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia welcome Jolanta Szymanska and Daniel Szeligowski of the Polish Institute of International Affairs to discuss their new book, The European Union in the Face of Russia's Aggression Against Ukraine. Has the EU been acting with a proper sense of urgency to Russia's threats? Has Germany delivered on their Zeitenwende promises? Should the EU forego unanimity in the interests of each country's national security? Show notes: Sign up for The Eastern Front‘s bi-weekly newsletter here and follow us on X here.
