Lecture: "The Cyber and Information Space - Risks to Security and Peace!", Speaker: Wolfgang Hellmich

The Baltic Sea has transformed in recent years from a calm region into a focal point of geopolitical tensions. Espionage, sabotage, and military threats increasingly characterize the landscape of this strategically important area. Lieutenant Colonel Michael Hellerforth, an experienced security expert with deployments in Mali, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Iraq, sheds light on the security policy dimensions of the Baltic Sea in his presentation. He analyzes the geographical and political conditions, explains the strategic goals of the Russian Federation, and discusses possible consequences for NATO and the EU. The event offers well-founded insights into current security policy challenges and is aimed at anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex interconnections in this region.
