Путин предупредил о наращивании ударов: что стоит за новой риторикой Москвы

In this new issue, we examine several key events on the global agenda. Ukraine announces expanded recruitment of foreigners and expects them to fill a significant portion of its assault and infantry positions. In the south, attacks on bridges and transport routes connected to Crimea continue, while Moscow declares that Kyiv is unable to fully blockade the peninsula. Vladimir Putin speaks of strengthening air defenses and increasing strikes against enemy infrastructure, Alexander Lukashenko suggests the conflicts could end as early as this year, India is investigating the crash of the Antonov An-32 military transport plane, and new intrigue is emerging around a possible US-Iran agreement—from asset unfreezing to announcements of large compensation packages. We examine how these events are interconnected and what they reveal about the global balance of power.
