Dynamic Support, Dynamic Alignment


“The stakes go beyond Ukraine and its survival as an independent state.  Russian President Vladimir Putin has dealt a serious blow to the European security order that the transatlantic community has sought to build – working with Russia -- since the end of the Cold War.  Defeating Putin in Ukraine is essential if that security order is ever to recover.”

Ambassador Alexander Vershbow, June 6th, 2023

This past Tuesday, in my capacity as Chairman of The Alphen Group (TAG), I had the honour to lead a delegation of members to the European Parliament in Brussels to present the completed Phase 2 of the TAG Ukraine Strategy to parliamentarians. A Comprehensive Strategy for a Secure Ukraine now includes five elaborated proposals and the link is below.

The proposals all call for the dynamic support for and dynamic alignment of Ukraine with NATO and the EU. They include:

A Declaration for Ukraine;

Mutual Commitments of Defence, Security and Sovereignty;

A Conference of Democracies on the Future of European Peace and Security;

G7 plus Partners Ukraine Joint Plan of Action for the Russo-Ukraine War;

And an Accelerated NATO Ukraine Membership Action Plan.

Under Chair Ms Anna Fotyga of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs, Dr Camille Grand (European Council on Foreign Relations), Professor Zaneta Ozolina (University of Riga), Professor Alexander Vershbow (Atlantic Council of the United States), and Professor Rob de Wijk (Hague Centre for Security Strategy) outlined the proposals.

I commend the Strategy to you.
