W. Hebda - Nuclear energy in the Visegrad Group countries – A convergent vision of development?

04.01.2024
The history of the development of nuclear energy in the Visegrad Group countries (V4) is generally similar, and its origins date back to the Cold War. In all these countries, in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, some programmes were implemented, which – with the exception of Poland - led to the construction of nuclear power plants equipped with Soviet technology. Currently, following the war in Ukraine, the V4 countries are struggling with serious threats to energy security, which result not only from interrupted supply chains of Russian raw materials but also from the process of transforming the energy sector. Despite significant differences in the scope of energy policies, a common element can be pointed out – the development of nuclear energy, which is to be the foundation of a safe and stable energy sector for the V4 countries in the coming decades.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine shifted temporarily the geopolitical center of Europe eastward, both in a political and security context.

These so-called "frontline states" have long signaled their sense of insecurity and concerns about Russia's aggressive posture, and after the outbreak of the war, they actively engaged in actions aimed at supporting Ukraine and bringing an end to the conflict.

08.11.2023
The rising number of espionage cases in Poland in recent months has led to a growing chorus of politicians and opinion leaders calling for more severe legal measures. At the same time, the authorities boasted of their successes in dismantling Russian spy network, and the parliament passed a new law that is intended to strengthen the state's resilience against this threat. It is worth taking a closer look at this issue, considering its evolving scale, conditions, and the state of Polish counterintelligence.
