Xi and Putin reaffirmed what they described as an increasingly solid strategic partnership, presenting closer cooperation as part of a broader push towards a more multipolar world amid growing uncertainty in the international order. But the summit also exposed the limits of that alignment, as India’s Narendra Modi urged Putin to end the war in Ukraine, while Turkey’s Erdoğan continued to deepen ties with Moscow without giving up Ankara’s room to maneuver. So, what did Bishkek reveal about Russia’s relationships with China, Turkey, and the wider non-Western world – and how sustainable is this partnership as the war in Ukraine continues? To discuss this, Eastern Express host Benjamin Lee is joined by two experts: Stankomir Nicieja, Associate Professor at the University of Opole, and Karolina Wanda Olszowska, President and co-founder of the Turkey Research Institute. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
