NATO’s decision to begin gradually reducing the size of its peacekeeping mission in Kosovo marks an important milestone in one of the alliance’s longest-running operations. Yet it also serves as a reminder that stability in the Western Balkans remains a work in progress rather than a completed achievement.

Ukraine’s reported plan to seek a further $20bn in military support from its partners places a clear question before Kyiv’s allies: whether they can turn political support into predictable weapons production at the pace required by the war.

Taiwan’s latest live-fire exercises on its western coastline offered more than a display of military hardware. They represented the clearest articulation yet of Taipei’s evolving defence doctrine: mobility, survivability and the ability to inflict significant damage on a superior adversary.

Rather than relying solely on emergency measures during periods of heightened tension, policymakers are exploring how to create a more durable framework that rewards readiness and incentivises expansion. Such an approach could help bridge the longstanding divide between government expectations and industrial planning cycles.

Sofia’s decision to halt arms supplies to Kyiv is not simply a national policy adjustment. It raises questions about EU cohesion, NATO reliability, defence-industrial planning, and the durability of long-term security commitments in wartime.
