The massive Russian invasion into Ukraine, which commenced on February 24th, 2022, is making a huge impact on the country and the people of Ukraine. The changes are profound and they are here to stay, most probably, in the post-war period. The Ukrainian identity has crystallized in ways like never seen before. Common threat with elements of annihilation attempts and genocide have brought Ukrainians together. The political developments have been characterized by resilience, with various political forces and segments of society working together. Martial law has created an unprecedented context for Ukraine, which so far has not been detrimental for Ukrainian democracy and political pluralism. Finally, there is an ongoing discussion as to what steps should be taken to better protect and secure the country in the future. What security steps or arrangements should be considered to make Ukraine’s security viable?
