Abstract

AbstractThe article presents a multifaceted analysis of threats to Central and Eastern Europe by the Russian Federation. Russia’s imperial policy, as set out in Gerasimov doctrines in 2013 and 2019, forced NATO to develop a new strategic concept. NATO’s new strategic concept was put forward at NATO Summits of 2018 and 2019 by Member State leaders, and it defines a new strategy to deter a potential aggressor. The new strategic concept is based on NATO’s strategy of cohesion and coherence discussed in detail in this article. NATO’s new strategic concept was a result of Russian military operations in Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia and Montenegro, as well as the deployment of Russian forces on Russia’s western and southern borders. Nowadays, when the application of a new strategy can give a significant advantage, Russia’s imperial policy using cutting edge technology seems unpredictable, as it does not give the enemy a chance to repel an attack in a timely manner. Thus, NATO’s new strategic concept contributes to creating a space of security cooperation for Member States.
