The wargame takes up the scenario described in Prof. Masala's book of the same name, “If Russia wins”, and lets players experience how the security situation in Europe could develop after a peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia.
The wargame illustrates that the security challenges for Europe do not end with a peace agreement but could potentially intensify if Russia challenges Article 5 of the NATO Treaty.
In the wargame, players assume the roles of political decision-makers from different countries and are faced with the dilemma of having to meet domestic and foreign policy challenges with limited resources. The wargame illustrates the consequences that the decisions made can have for national security in the further course of events and how the decisions of the various actors interact.
At the same time, the wargame serves as a platform for informed discourse. It creates space for exchange, diversity of perspectives and joint reflection on strategies for dealing with a complex threat situation.
