Abstract
In its strategic environment description the NATO 2022 Security Concept defined the security threats directly targeting Europe, especially the eastern wing of the Alliance. Russia’s build-up of its military presence in the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean region, and its military integration with Belarus challenged the Alliance’s security. After their aggression against Georgia in 2008, the illegal annexation of Crimea, and unsuccessful efforts to control the eastern part of Ukraine in the spring of 2014, Russian troops invaded Ukraine on 24th February 2022, violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity, making the Russian Federation a significant and direct threat to NATO’s security. Pervasive instability in Africa and the Middle East, and the possible disruption of the fragile balance in the Western Balkans contribute to irregular migration. The People’s Republic of China also presents a challenge to our interests, security, and values, and seeks to undermine the rules-based international order. This paper aims to analyse the presence of primary security threats in the national strategic documents of the V4 countries and Romania. The synthesis of the acquired knowledge supplemented with information on the governments’ attitudes after the Russian aggression against Ukraine indicates the current attitudes of the governments of the evaluated states.
