Ukraine War: Nuclear Weapons Return to Europe 🔥

Four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, nuclear weapons are back at the centre of European security debates. Under the shadow of the war, nuclear threats, Russian nuclear deployments in Belarus, the expiry of the New START and calls for a stronger “European nuclear deterrent” have pushed nuclear risks to their highest level in decades. ICAN's Florian Eblenkamp looks at how the Ukraine war has normalised talk of more nuclear weapons in Europe, why most Europeans still reject them, and how the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons offers a different path to security without the constant threat of annihilation.
