ロシアのウクライナ侵攻をめぐる特徴の一つに、激しい「情報戦」があります。特に印象的なのはウクライナや英国、米国の諜報機関、民間情報機関による秘密情報の積極的な開示でしょう。ロシアの虚偽情報に対抗して「事実」を明らかにし、軍事行動の機先を制することを目的としています。英国の情報機関のある幹部は「真実の周知を確かなものとするため」に、通常は明かされることのない秘匿性の高い情報を戦略的に公開していることを明らかにしています。その迅速さと規模は前例がありません。

If it escalates, the Ukraine war could lead to a new wave of nuclear weapons proliferation and threats globally. Soon after the beginning of the war, in an attempt to dissuade the West from intervening further in the conflict, Russia asserted its right to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, prompting Europe to re-think its security architecture. These security concerns also extend to the Asian region. Could these concerns trigger a new nuclear arms race? In this webinar, the experts discussed current challenges in the international security arena, and their implications for future global security architecture and the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
