I was interviewed by Petr Drulák, the former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. Drulák wrote the foreword for the Czech-language version of my book “The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order”.

In the interview (video below) we discuss how the US ambition to establish a world order based on hegemony manifested itself in NATO expansion. Abandoning the agreements for an inclusive pan-European security architecture based on indivisible security and reviving zero-sum bloc politics has been the source of conflicts ever since. The dividing lines in Europe were revived, re-militarised, and gradually moved towards Russian borders with predictably catastrophic results. The Ukraine War is a symptom of the collapsing unipolar era, yet also a driver for multipolarity as the wider world has begun to construct an alternative international economic system and a multipolar world order.
