This series of Talking Europe discussions are organised in partnership with the European Commission with the aim to foster debate on the European Union’s work and its effect on the everyday lives of citizens, involving stakeholders from civil society, political institutions and the wider European community.

Our guest, Simonas Šatūnas, Head of Cabinet to European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius, joins us to discuss European security and defence, including global paradigm shifts, European support for Ukraine, the ReArm Europe plan and more, as well as how European citizens’ perspectives fit into the broader EU security agenda.
