Russia's alliances start showing cracks - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD
Russia built a web of alliances meant to anchor its influence after the fall of the Soviet Union. But today, three of these pillars – the CSTO, the CIS, and BRICS – are all facing new tensions.
Armenia is questioning the CSTO's security guarantees, Moldova is leaving the CIS, and BRICS expansion is creating internal divisions. As the war in Ukraine reshapes global politics, Vladimir Putin is working overtime to prevent these partnerships from drifting away.
In this episode of Eastern Express, we break down how Russia’s alliance network is starting to show major cracks.
