Hot of the press from the United States Department of Defense: “Since it opened just four years ago under the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, the Defense Security Cooperation University has made strides in achieving the initial goals it set for itself and has also expanded and improved on its ability to train the nation's security cooperation workforce. It is now in the process of evolving further, in order to respond to a rapidly changing strategic environment.” To read the full details about exciting initiatives happening in #SecurityCooperation and growth at DSCU, click: https://lnkd.in/eApCBWCs Institute for Security Governance Defense Institute of International Legal Studies Defense Resources Management Institute

When decision makers speak, I like to listen to the messages to get a sense of what might be coming. Without clear strategic documents (foreign or national security policy) these remarks what we have to work with. MND Blair's remarks are worth a listen (21:30 to 1:05:30). #defence #defense #canadianarmedforces #natsec https://lnkd.in/ed_tkdG8

Great overview of the importance of Human Security in Defence, that will resonate with many industries.

Two more examples of former #Wagner fighters becoming involved in criminal activity after returning from #Russia's war on #Ukraine: A court in Sochi sentenced former Wagner fighter Oleg Mullayanov to nine years for attempted drug dealing. As is customary, the court considered Mullayanov’s participation in Russia’s war on Ukraine and Wagner awards to be mitigating circumstances. Mullayanov has three previous convictions — two for drug-related offences and one for stealing a car — and was recruited to Wagner from prison. A court in Rostov-on-the-Don sentenced former Wagner fighter Andrey Zheludkov to four years for beating a man to death. The attack was a response to the man’s abusive comments about the war in Ukraine. As with Mullayanov, fighting in Ukraine and Wagner medals were considered as mitigation.
