Balkan Geopolitics Under the Shadow of Russian Influence

Balkan Geopolitics Under the Shadow of Russian Influence. Ukraine in Flames #575

In the conditions of the Russian war against Ukraine, Kyiv needs to maintain international support for its struggle for survival. One of these areas of geopolitical partnership is the Balkan countries.

At the same time, Russia’s long-standing efforts to expand its influence in the region are a problem that threatens potential cooperation with Ukraine. Establishing robust mechanisms for information sharing and cybersecurity cooperation can help Ukraine and Balkan states mitigate Russian influence in the digital realm and enhance their collective resilience against cyber threats.

By jointly advocating for and supporting each other’s Euro-Atlantic integration efforts, Ukraine and Balkan states can collectively bolster their ties with Western institutions, promoting stability and prosperity in the face of Russian influence.
