Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the functioning of CSDP in 2022. The introductory part discusses main determinants of its development in 2022, particularly the impact on CSDP of the outbreak of the war in Ukraine due to the Russian invasion and of the changes caused by the war in Germany’s approach to European security. The second section discusses the content of the Strategic Compass – an official EU document intended to shape future directions, mechanisms and principles of CSDP’s functioning and evolution. Then the main efforts undertaken by the EU in 2022 to improve its defense and military capabilities are discussed and assessed, with special attention given to new financial instruments introduced by the European Commission and to the advances in projects within the PESCO and EDF frameworks. The next section is devoted to operation activities of the EU, especially its assistance to Ukraine, including the use for that purpose of the European Peace Facility. This part also deals with the changes in CSDP missions and operations in 2022, particularly those deployed in Africa. The article concludes with an assessment of the results of EU CSDP evolution in 2022 and an initial prognosis of its further development.
