While attention has turned to negotiations in Abu Dhabi to end the Ukraine conflict, two other significant events that are influencing that outcome have also been held this past week – the Eurasian Security Conference in Minsk and the CSTO Foreign Ministers meetings in Moscow. We examine the discussions held, the participants and why the extent of any Ukraine agreements spread far beyond the boundaries and concerns of only Europe. It is essential Eurasian geopolitical intelligence. Elsewhere, we conclude last weeks’ Russia-Africa summit with overviews of the Presidential-level bilateral meetings between Russia and another 8 African countries and showcase some immediate investment results of what by all standards was a substantial conference. Important bilateral trade and investment development meetings and agreements have also taken place between Russia and Bangladesh, Iran and Pakistan, while Russia is preparing for a 2027 push into Latin America following Foreign Ministerial meetings with Peru. We also showcase a significant, US$8 billion Russia-China joint venture in Khabarovsk, the possibilities for Russian aircraft export partnerships, a potential free trade agreement with Jordan, why trade with Uruguay is rebounding, and a look at Russian involvement in the Middle East’s oil and gas sector following the evacuation of US energy engineering personnel. Finally, we discuss the meeting between President Putin and Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem in Moscow.
