On 18 March, SEDE will notably hold two separate discussions on Ukraine. The first one will focus on countering Russia's war economy and understanding its recruitment policies in order to end Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine. The second will focus on learning from Ukraine in building Europe’s strategic defence readiness and the role of the EU's new defence instruments.

On 19 March, Ambassador Lene MANDEL VENSILD, newly appointed Chair of the Political and Security Committee (PSC) of the Council of the EU, will address the Committee to discuss the current developments on EU Security and Defence.
