On 23 March 2026, the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri) graciously hosted an in-person roundtable in Paris focused on U.S.–EU–Ukraine security cooperation. We sincerely appreciate Ifri’s hospitality and the opportunity to present our work in Paris’s leading expert community.
The discussion also marked the presentation of TDC’s report “Navigating the US–EU–Ukraine Triangle: Revitalizing Transatlantic Security Cooperation” by Маріанна Фахурдінова (Coordinator of TDC’s EU–Ukraine Partnership Program and Fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis) and Єгор Ткачук (Analyst of the EU–Ukraine Partnership Program at TDC).
We are especially grateful to Élie Tenenbaum for his support in organising the roundtable and for moderating the discussion, helping ensure a focused, policy-oriented exchange.
During the exchange, Marianna Fakhurdinova presented the report’s central argument: sustaining transatlantic security cooperation under current conditions requires a pragmatic trilateral framework that recognises Ukraine as a central actor, rather than treating coordination primarily through a U.S.–EU lens.
The report is produced by Transatlantic Dialogue Center with the support of the Askold and Dir Fund as a part of the Strong Civil Society of Ukraine – a Driver towards Reforms and Democracy project, implemented by ISAR Ednannia, funded by Norway and Sweden.
