The Czech Republic is one of the most active supporters of Ukraine in terms of direct military support, provision of protection to Ukraine citizens or by leading the widely-respected ammunition initiative announced in February 2024. The Czech government has also profiled itself within the EU by supporting tough sanctions against Russia. Still, there are several options available for the current administration to strengthen the implementation of sanctions through legislative and non-legislative measures. 

PSSI is proud to present Space Café Radio - PSSI Space Security Mini-Series, a radio series dedicated to exploring allied preparedness in navigating the rapidly evolving space domain.

Following a flurry of proposed legislation in the U.S. Congress addressing the risks associated with investments linked to authoritarian states, PSSI’s latest Perspective urges Europe to emulate or match these measures.
