In this issue:
With Greetings for the Western Christmas season! We feature the first of our new 2025 Guides with an examination of Russia’s Europe – a complimentary download for readers- and an overview of 2024 from the Russian Institute of China and Contemporary Asia. We also feature President Putin’s annual public Q&A in which he discusses aspects of the Russian economy. There are important updates concerning the BRICS and EAEU. Elsewhere there is plenty of activity as concerns Russia’s developing global logistics and transport ties, with new routes appearing at a rapid pace. With best wishes for 2025! Our next issue will be on January 3rd.
