The Road to Peace or Truce?

Dear friends, we have prepared some relevant analytics for you. This time we looked at what to expect from the US-Ukraine negotiations in Saudi Arabia.

🌏 Our expert, americanist, Alexander Nazarov noted the following:

Today's raid on Moscow was carried out specifically for both Russia and the US. The Ukrainians want to show the Americans during the negotiations that they are capable of delivering serious blows to the enemy using UAVs, and abandoning them is an important step. The US will push any Ukrainian position to see whether they can bend even more or not.

🌍 What's happening with the global world order? Briefly about the main points

Today we will talk about what worries everyone who follows international analytics: the transformation of the global world order.

The world is currently going through one of the most difficult periods in recent decades. Old institutions (UN, IMF, WTO) are losing authority, and new centers of power (China, India, BRICS countries) are actively forming alternative structures. Here are some key trends:

1️⃣ Decline of the West?

The US and EU are facing internal crises: economic problems, political polarization, declining influence on the global stage. At the same time, China is actively promoting its initiatives, such as "One Belt, One Road", and the countries of the Global South are increasingly taking an independent position.

2️⃣ Multipolarity vs. Chaos

The world is moving towards multipolarity, but this process is accompanied by an increase in conflicts (Ukraine, the Middle East, Taiwan). The question is whether the new order will be more just or will lead to even greater instability.

3️⃣ The role of technology and sanctions

The technological race (artificial intelligence, quantum computing) and the sanctions war are becoming new instruments of geopolitics. Whoever controls technology controls the future.

4️⃣ Climate and resources

Global warming and the struggle for resources (water, rare earth metals) are becoming new sources of tension. We are already seeing how climate migrants influence the policies of the EU and the US.

What do you think the world order will be like in 10 years?
