The recent episode of the Lawyering Peace podcast – “A Post-War Security Framework for Ukraine”, featuring Lesia Ogryzko, Director of the Sahaidachnyi Security Center, offers a deep and timely insight into this question.
Lesia Ogryzko explains how the ongoing war has fundamentally reshaped the Ukrainian psyche, forging a “security-first” mindset. This is not only about immediate defense, but about building a resilient and sustainable future. She emphasizes the critical need for a strong Ukrainian army and a self-reliant defense industry – pillars that will not only protect Ukraine but also contribute to broader European stability.
The conversation also explores the importance of building new alliances in Europe. These emerging partnerships are vital for constructing an integrated security architecture capable of countering future threats. Speaking about the prospects of a quick peace deal or ceasefire, Lesia Ogryzko expresses clear skepticism. The path to negotiations with Russia is fraught with challenges and potential traps – risks the international community must remain aware of.
The discussion with Dr. Paul R. Williams offers a valuable perspective on Ukraine’s role on the global stage. It is a powerful testament to the resilience of a nation poised not just to survive the war, but to emerge as a key exporter of security in Europe.
