Two coalitions - tyrannies and democracies - continue to form in the world

We are living in turbulent times, where Ukraine has become the first battleground between democracy and progress on one side and tyrants and aggressors on the other. Recently, we witnessed the formation of two coalitions.

In Moscow, Xi Jinping has strengthened his ties with the largest vassal ally, and a coalition of "tyrannies" has already emerged comprising China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Yesterday, the leader of the country with the second-largest economic power and political influence in the democratic world, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida, visited Kyiv. His visit was significant as it demonstrated that Japan stands with Ukraine. This was only the second visit by a de facto leader of Japan to Kyiv in history. It also highlighted the fact that Kishida, as the head of the G7 and an opponent of the Chinese and Russian dictatorships, is supporting Ukraine.

Ukraine is a part of the democratic world and is a de facto member of the coalition of democracies that are fighting against the coalition of dictatorships worldwide. Ukraine was the first to join this battle, but it's not the only country facing these challenges. 

Ukraine is a part of the democratic world and is a de facto member of the coalition of democracies that are fighting against the coalition of dictatorships worldwide. Ukraine was the first to join this battle, but it's not the only country facing these challenges. The economic and political confrontations in East Asia and the Indo-Pacific region could turn into a hot war at any moment, whether it be in Taiwan, on the Korean peninsula, at the border of India and China, or even in Indian Kashmir. In such a scenario, the planet would become even more volatile.

It's impossible to avoid turbulent times, and there's nowhere to hide, neither in Europe nor in America, except perhaps Antarctica, which isn't entirely accurate either. The outcome of this fight will determine whether we win or lose, and our allies give us hope that we will emerge as winners. However, victory will come at a very high price. Perhaps the highest we've ever paid.
