Russia's Military Expansion: Sudan, Syria, Iran, and North Korea
<p>Russia is actively expanding its military presence and influence in the Middle East and Africa, in particular through the establishment of a naval base in Sudan and seeking to maintain access to bases in Syria. Moscow is also deepening military and nuclear cooperation with Iran, receiving military assistance from it and expanding cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. Iran is becoming an important transit point for Russian military aviation. In addition, Russia is increasing military ties with North Korea, which supplies it with significant quantities of ammunition and artillery systems for the war in Ukraine. These actions, including diplomatic efforts, indicate a strategic strengthening of Russia's positions in these regions and its desire to resist Western influence.</p>

Russia in Africa: The Renaissance of Wagner
<p>This episode discusses the restoration of Russia's influence in Africa through the Wagner PMC (or its successor, the African Corps) after the death of Prigozhin. Mercenaries are being actively recruited and sent to various countries, notably Mali, where, despite losses, Russia's position remains strong. The Kremlin uses not only military force but also "soft power" - disinformation and pro-Kremlin media. Africa is becoming a key element of Moscow's global strategy, especially against the backdrop of the loss of influence in Syria. However, there are problems with command, logistics, and personnel shortages, which cast doubt on the long-term prospects of the Russian presence. </p><p> </p>
