Коментарі німецьких, австрійських і швейцарських аналітиків Сергій Польовик Увагу авторитетних європейських аналітиків та ЗМІ привертають останні події з обрання нового президента Європейської комісії, яким несподівано для багатьох політиків стала представниця Німеччини, та з призначення на вакантну таким чином посаду Федерального міністра оборони Німеччини ще однієї жінки. Коментарі аналітиків про такі ключові переміни викликані перш за все тією провідною в ЄС роллю Німеччини, що відчутно впливає на геополітичні процеси європейського континенту.

That will allow to become a geopolitical actor that offers clear and mutually…

Serhiy Polyovyk The attention of European analysts who keep a close watch at China’s activity, was drawn to China’s leader Xi Jinping’s unexpected visit to North Korea. And it’s not accidentally, because Europeans are alarmed by its aggressive policy of gradual capturing key infrastructure of European countries.
