Europe: Outlook for military tensions with Russia

Dragonfly is pleased to invite you to a briefing examining the escalating tensions between Russia and NATO, as well as the effects on safety and security risks across Europe.

The recent series of Russian drone and jet incursions into NATO airspace has brought the prospect of a direct conflict between Russia and NATO into sharp focus. In September, both Poland and Estonia requested Article 4 meetings following incursions of their airspace by Russian drones and fighter jets, respectively. There has also been a spate of drone sightings in Nordic countries in particular, resulting in airport closures.These seem designed to test NATO’s unity and resolve in its response. 

As a result, firms and organisations have become increasingly concerned about the potential escalation of Russian hybrid warfare tactics, including aerial incursions, on their day-to-day business operations, or even of the risk of a direct military clash between Russia and NATO.

In this briefing we will cover: 

• The strategic intent behind Russia’s actions
• NATO’s response and future posture
• The prospect of conflict escalation
• Russian hybrid threats
• Regional security implications for companies
• Impact on supply chains and logistics
