Ukraine

Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine in 2022 has set major challenges on multiple fronts, being one the severest existential and security crisis Europe and its neighbourhood have faced in decades. Even when the war is over, the destinies of Europe and Ukraine will continue to be tied to each other.

Against this background, FEPS strives to foster the development of a vision among progressives (policymakers, experts, and civil society), analyses and policy recommendations on the recovery and transformation of Ukraine in a way that advances a broader concept of peace, security & democracy (in Europe and beyond), and addresses the question on how to set the basis for substantive democracy and sustainable peace in Ukraine – and by extension build more resilience in Europe.

Our activities aim at fostering a medium- to long-term socio-democratic vision for Ukraine’s rebuild, touching upon Europe’s roles and responsibilities, as well as on how to link the recovery process with Ukraine’s accession to the EU.
