Ukraine needs to move to a new phase of the war if it is to reclaim its territory occupied by Russia. A European plan to supply Leopard tanks should be at the heart of this effort.
Scholz’s Zeitenwende speech was widely viewed as a major adjustment to Germany’s foreign and security policy. But, six months on, it is unclear whether the country is up to the task.
The EU has made insufficient progress in enhancing its sovereignty, particularly in security and defence. The union now needs to overcome internal differences to bolster its external ability to act.
The event will convene a select group of European decision-makers and opinion-shapers from across business, civil society, European governments and the European Commission

In conversation with Jana Puglierin, Gideon Rachman will present his book „The Age of the Strongmen“
Germany’s National Security Strategy should aim for more than just a return to the status quo ante but with more money. The Zeitenwende is forcing Germany to reinvent itself as a European security actor.
Just days ahead of the G7, EU and NATO summits, ECFR’s Council Members – Europe’s leading decision-makers, opinion-shapers, and public intellectuals – gathered on 19-20 June in Berlin for the ECFR Annual Council Meeting
This event is part of the German Forum on Security Policy, organised by the Federal Academy for Security Policy (BAKS).
Will new dependencies and partnerships develop in Europe and the world in the future? What role will international institutions play? Are we entering a post-American world?

The German government has finally dispelled the uncertainty around its stance on Nord Stream 2 and potential sanctions on Russia. But the major tests of Berlin’s ability to act may still lie ahead.
Germany’s new government could defuse the conflict between Poland and Belarus by demonstrating greater toughness on Lukashenka and showing willingness to accept a limited number of migrants. And the EU should be ready to use its most effective weapon: trade.
Threats to Germany’s and Europe’s economic sovereignty have won too little attention in the German election campaign. But, soon, policymakers in Berlin will have to take decisive steps to build up Europe’s strength against economic coercion.
The parties in Germany’s next coalition government could find it hard to bridge their differences on foreign and defence policy
Germany will find it increasingly hard to maintain its current level of prosperity – and security – without charting a new course on China. Fortunately, German voters seem ready for change.
Recent environmental disasters could sway the result of this month’s election – but no party has yet seized the moment
Berlin will only harm itself and others if it continues to snub Washington’s entreaties to rebuild the transatlantic alliance
The German Greens’ positions on the Western Balkans check all the right boxes. The challenge will be to translate these positions into a bold policy on the region.
What are the necessary steps the new German government needs to take to advance and support European tech sovereignty?
How can the next German government build up Europe’s strength against economic coercion?
How should the next German government concretely shape its China policy, and its approach to the Indo-Pacific?
Whoever wins the election, the next German government must approach climate action more systematically and in a more sustained fashion
How would a chancellor Armin Laschet approach foreign policy questions on China, Russia, and defence?
How would a (partially) Green government affect German foreign policy?

In Poland, as well as across the EU, we witness a battle between these two narratives. Depending on which of them prevails, EU countries and institutions may choose to react more or less firmly to the Polish challenge – with lasting consequences for the EU’s future shape.
