One of the most thought provoking sessions at the EuroCOP meeting was the Panel Debate around the Challenges faced by Police Officers whose countries borders face Russia. It is apparent that more should be done to prepare for the inevitable next stages.

The EuroCOP delegation visiting Ukraine took time to remember the fallen of the war. Every new death is not simply a number in a spreadsheet, it’s a world crashing event for a parent, child, a spouse, a friend. This war has a price, and that price is terrible - human lives.#SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦
