Significant events are unfolding in various directions in global politics. Beyond the ongoing war in Ukraine, there are extraordinary elections in France, and Europe agrees on new sanctions against Russia, which is also facing issues with financial transactions and liquid gas shipments with China. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin arrived in North Korea and agreed to military cooperation. The agreement between the two nuclear states is causing concern.
NATO is also likely to have a new Secretary General soon. Political analyst Buka Petriashvili, the host of the program “The World As It Is,” highlighted these and other interesting issues.
