The RICs Ring Road: a network of bi-oceanic corridors for Eurasia
Among the infrastructural trends of the past several years, one of the most actively discussed has been creation of bi-oceanic corridors across the main regions of the Global South.

๐ท๐บ๐บ๐ธ๐จ๐ณ Kremlin says new arms control deal will take time.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said negotiations with Washington on arms control would require โvery lengthy, meticulousโ expert-level talks, meaning quick results should not be expected.
The comments follow President Donald Trumpโs proposal for trilateral arms control negotiations involving the US, Russia and China after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Moscow says any future agreement would need to address the nuclear arsenals of the major powers, while China has previously questioned the need to include its arsenal in such negotiations.
The previous US-Russia New START treaty expired in February, leaving the future framework for strategic arms control under discussion.

EU defense ministers are discussing an "Emergency Security Protocol" โ modeled on NATO's Article 4 โ to respond to drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks.
๐ European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed the protocol in her State of the Union speech, framing it as Europe's own version of NATO's Article 4, which allows a member to call for allied consultations when it believes its security is threatened.
๐ฃ๏ธ EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas: The protocol would apply to "everything that is under the threshold of armed aggression."
๐ It could cover drone incursions, sabotage, and cyberattacks โ once responsibility is clearly established.
