| Summary/Abstract |
Warfighting in Ukraine in 2022-2023 has become the first large-scale armed
conflict in Europe in the 21st century that directly involves Russia and
NATO. The scale of events, the geography of operations, the number of
weapons used and the personnel engaged require a reassessment of military
development and defense spending priorities in many countries around the
world. This article analyzes certain features of the current armed conflict
and the decisions already made by individual countries. The authors come
to the conclusion that given the scale of military buildup in Europe and
elsewhere it is advisable to think about new measures to reduce risks now
and establish effective arms control in the future.
