Our Advocacy Priorities for 2026
Opublikowano: January 12, 2026
In 2026, the Casimir Pulaski Foundation structures its advocacy efforts around five clearly defined priority areas. These are implemented through analytical publications, expert seminars, study visits, and the Warsaw Security Forum as an international platform for dialogue. Together, they constitute a coherent agenda aimed at strengthening the security of Poland and the wider region, deepening transatlantic relations, and supporting European integration in an evolving security environment.
1. Actions to Ensure Ukraine’s Victory and Lasting European Security
a) Strengthening and enforcing sanctions against Russia.
b) Using Russian state assets for the benefit of Ukraine.
c) Cooperation in counter-drone and missile defense.
d) Supporting Ukraine’s accession process to the EU.
e) NATO’s open-door policy.
f) Poland’s active role in discussions on Europe’s security architecture and the new global order.
2. Revitalization of the EU’s Eastern Policy and the EU Strategy Toward Russia
a) Conceptualizing Eastern Partnership 2.0 as a new pillar of the EU neighbourhood policy.
b) Promoting a European Eastern Agency as an implementation instrument
of Eastern Partnership 2.0.
c) Initiating discussions about a long-term EU strategy toward Russia for the next 10 years.
3. The Nordic–Baltic–Black Sea Format as an Operational Axis of Regional Cooperation
a) Promoting regular dialogue and coordination of positions among NBBS states (Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria).
b) Developing the Baltic Resilience Initiative as a vertical, cross-sector cooperation platform (energy, telecommunications, transport, logistics).
c) Promoting investments that increase the resilience and redundancy of maritime and subsea infrastructure in the Baltic Sea basin.
4. Deterrence Through Resilience: Infrastructure, Industry, and Cognitive Actions
a) Developing practical models of infrastructure resilience and redundancy for NBBS states.
b) Promoting mechanisms and actions that strengthen European industrial autonomy and economic competitiveness.
c) Supporting the integration of the cognitive domain into the European security architecture and developing capabilities for its detection.
5. Europeanizing NATO and Strengthening EU Defense Capabilities
a) Promoting joint European defense investments.
b) Supporting the concept of conventional deterrence as a complement to nuclear deterrence.
c) Actions aimed at strengthening the European pillar of NATO.
