As Ukraine continues its courageous and fully justified defense against Russia’s war of aggression, Ukrainian policymakers have, understandably, prioritized Ukraine’s security in an immediate response to the 2022 full-scale invasion. On March 27, USIP hosted a discussion on the tensions between security, democracy and civil liberties, the costs and benefits of total defense/comprehensive security models, and the regulation and oversight of strong security sectors.
