Timothy Garton Ash: The War in Ukraine and the Future of Democracy in Central Europe

The war in Ukraine has transformed thinking about almost every aspect of the European Union, from security to energy, and put the spotlight on its central and east European member states. How does it affect the future of democracy in Central Europe? Does it sharpen the focus on the erosion of the rule of law and democracy in countries like Hungary and Poland, or rather soften it, since for a united response to Putin's aggression in Ukraine the EU needs the support of its frontline states? In his lecture at the CEU Democracy Institute Professor Timothy Garton Ash addressed these questions, and many more.
