Dr Hannah Neumann, Member of the European Parliament
Sofiia has presented a very solid piece of independent student research. Driven by a genuine and profound interest in the topic that shines through the entire work, she has demonstrated her wide-ranging expertise on EU-NATO relations by developing an original and plausible argument on European strategic autonomy.
