European Sentry: What does Europe need to protect its Eastern flank?
National Museum of Art
The panel will examine NATO’s rapid Eastern Sentry response to Russian drone incursions in Poland, assessing whether it marks real deterrence or a temporary signal. Discussion will focus on what material, financial, and policy commitments are still needed to secure Europe’s Eastern border — and where progress and shortfalls stand today.
