Tbilisi, Georgia - On Feb. 28, the Partnership for Peace Consortium's Emerging Security Challenges Working Group hosted a workshop in Tbilisi, Georgia, bringing together 40 participants from 9 countries across Europe and North America. 

The workshop was organized in cooperation with the George C. Marshall Center and the Georgian Ministry of Defense. The topic was "Ukraine War’s Trajectories and their Implications for the Black Sea and South Caucasus Region." Participants dealt with the ongoing dynamics of the war in Ukraine, at the same time examining developments in Russia's political system and their impact on the broader region.

The discussions highlighted the importance of continued dialogue and cooperation among international partners to address current and emerging security challenges in the region effectively.
