🇺🇦🌍 What does it take to keep a city running under constant attack? And what should Europe be learning from Ukraine now?

GMF’s Unbreakable Ukraine forum in Gdańsk, ahead of #URC2026, focused on how Ukraine is building systems that can hold up under wartime pressure, and how those lessons are being applied beyond Ukraine before the next crisis arrives.

Some takeaways👇

Resilience is deterrence. That was my core message at the @gmfus forum on Day 0 of #URC2026 in Gdańsk.
A prepared society, a resilient economy, a defense sector that doesn't just survive - but keeps producing, innovating, winning. That's not just Ukraine's advantage. That's the model we all need to build.
Ukraine is our laboratory of #resilience. Poland is investing billions in civil preparedness - shelters, supply chains, water reserves.
The range of Iskanders from Kaliningrad doesn't stop at Poland's border. This is everyone's fight.

📣 Upcoming event: Rethinking Hungary-Ukraine Relations: A New Start for Reconciliation

🗓️ Online | June 30 | 9:00am ET / 1500 CET

Relations between Hungary and Ukraine have been turbulent over the last decade, but Hungary’s elections in April ended the authoritarian and pro-Russia government of Orbán’s Fidesz party and created an opportunity for reconciliation with Ukraine.

GMF and guest experts will discuss policy recommendations for economic, energy, and security cooperation—and reconciliation—between the two neighbors.

Speakers: Tamás Csiki Varga, Sergiy Gerasymchuk, @DanielHegedus82, @TarnokB, and @VeghZsuzsanna
