Abstract

This advisory letter begins by taking stock of the past two years of war. The AIV then notes that the Western consensus is growing more fragile, that there are turning points in sight and that there is a danger of a protracted stalemate. This gives rise to the question of what position the Netherlands should take, especially given that a new government will be taking office in due course. The letter then discusses six subjects in greater detail: 1) the European security architecture; 2) the European defence industry; 3) the prospect of EU membership for Ukraine; 4) Ukraine’s reconstruction;5) the consequences of the war for the Global South; and6) resilience and public support.
