By Plenary Sessions: Marko Mihkelson

The speaker demonstrates profound expertise in international security, the history of Russian aggression, and hybrid warfare tactics, citing examples dating back to the 2007 Munich speech. This expertise is grounded in direct contacts (Ukrainian commanders, a UN ambassador, the head of a Western intelligence service) and a detailed analysis of geopolitical alliances, detailing Russia's actions in Georgia, Syria, Catalonia, and during the US elections. Furthermore, the speaker is well-versed in defense spending levels (3% of GDP) and the operational challenges facing international organizations (OSCE, Council of Europe).
