In this Visegrad Insight podcast, Wojciech Przybylski speaks with Sigita Struberga (Latvian Transatlantic Organisation, Organisation Women for Security) about what the 2026 Munich Security Conference revealed about Europe’s strategic direction, defence-industrial reality and the eastern flank’s expectations of partners.

We discuss:

– Why ‘national interests’ rhetoric is back and what it means for the Euro-Atlantic community

– ‘Rearmament without warmongering’ and the politics of long war preparation

– Baltic ‘total defence’ thinking, societal resilience and the demand for measurable results

– EU defence industry modernisation and the coming competition inside Europe
