In an in-depth interview with the Telegraf, Giuseppe Spatafora assessed the risk of a direct Russia-NATO clash, the signals Putin received from the summit in Ankara, and how Ukraine's experience can help European partners. "Ukraine's experience is extremely important to NATO and Europeans. Its solutions, particularly regarding the battlefield-to-industry innovation loop, will be key to preparing European armed forces for modern conflicts."

Separately, discussing recent tensions between Iran and Ukraine, Giuseppe noted that ties between Moscow and the regime in Tehran may continue to deepen given their common adversaries and the increasingly close integration of their defence industries (in Ukrainian).
