In the question-and-answer session that followed the lecture, participants discussed what kind of security and foreign policy can be adopted to protect the security of nations and their citizens in a situation where the influence of the United Nations has been considerably reduced, the future of the war in Ukraine is unclear, and countries bordering Russia, including Georgia, are feeling a strong sense of insecurity.
