Summary/Abstract: This article addresses the research problem of analysing the devel- opment of the EU Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) in the con- text of the ongoing war in Ukraine. It examines the extent to which Russia’s military actions against Ukraine, particularly those starting in 2022, have influ- enced EU and Member State decisions regarding the CSDP. To provide a more comprehensive analysis, this study also explores the evolution of the CSDP, focusing on its foundations and conditions both prior to the full-scale conflict and following Russia’s 2014 aggression in Crimea and Donbas. This broader perspective enables a thorough assessment of the scale and scope of CSDP reforms over time. The objective of this article is to examine the dependen- cies and impacts of the war in Ukraine on the development and evolution of the CSDP.
