Each reflects a larger pattern:
· Nationalism is on the rise, from Israel’s annexation debates to Japan’s self-reliant economic policies.
· Global cooperation is fragile, yet essential — as seen in the Arabian Sea drug bust.
· Power politics are shifting, with Asia asserting greater autonomy and Europe re-examining its security alliances.
In short: 2025 is not just another year of crises. It’s a turning point in how the world defines sovereignty, security, and solidarity.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy recently called former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to “freeze the conflict at current frontlines” a “good compromise” — though he acknowledged that Vladimir Putin is unlikely to accept.
Meanwhile, Russia has intensified missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, including on Kyiv, signaling Moscow’s unwillingness to halt aggression without concessions.
Why it matters:
The war has redefined European security and driven a new arms race. It has also strained NATO unity as member states weigh the limits of support.
Global impact:
- The war has contributed to surging energy prices and disrupted grain exports.
- Millions of refugees continue to reshape European demographics.
- China’s quiet but growing influence on Russia’s economy hints at a new East-West alignment.
Outlook:
Analysts warn that without a viable peace framework, the war could become a “frozen conflict,” dividing Ukraine and entrenching hostilities for decades — much like the Korean Peninsula.Each reflects a larger pattern:
