Assessing the three main security threats facing Europe in the wake of the Ukraine crisis

The crisis in Ukraine, which began in 2013, has had significant implications for European security. Cristian Nitoiu identifies three perceived security threats implied by developments in Ukraine and how these threats may develop in future years:

+ the threat of so called ‘hybrid warfare’ spilling over from the standoff between Ukraine and Russia;
+ the threat posed by nuclear weapons;
+ the threat posed by more conventional forms of warfare.
