The documentary 1% of War by Denys Khrystov is a short, impactful film composed of several stories connected by a single location, a specific time frame, and one war. It captures the evacuations of people—and not just people—that took place along the Avdiivka frontline during the final days of fighting for the city.

Ukraine-Plus Lecture by Stefania Kolarz from the Polish Institute of International Affairs

Our one-day symposium “OSINT: From Theory, Intelligence to Evidence”, will take place at the Leiden University’s Wijnhaven campus (The Hague) on the 14 June 2024. This event is compiled of two panels – “From Theory to Intelligence” and “From Intelligence to Evidence”, which will merge the theoretical foundations of OSINT with insights into its application as actionable evidence. The emphasis will be on investigating core international crimes committed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you’re interested in attending, we ask you to please register at our website. We hope to see you there!

On March 29, 2004, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia formally acceded to NATO in what was the biggest enlargement round in the history of the Alliance. Since then, the seven countries, which represent much of NATO‘s eastern flank, have contributed extensively to the implementation of NATO‘s core tasks and policy priorities, and to this day remain among the most active and supportive members of the Alliance. Since Lithuania hosted the NATO Summit in 2023 and the Netherlands are poised to host one in 2025, this event will provide a unique opportunity to combine an anniversary celebration and a focused discussion on the past, present and future of the North Atlantic Alliance. This event, therefore, will focus both on highlighting the impact of the 2004 enlargement, as well as the challenges NATO faces on its eastern flank and how the Alliance can face those.
