Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers

Probability of Nuclear Weapons’ Disarmament from the Perspective of the Great Powers By: Sofi Beridze Nika Chitadze Abstract The article elaborates upon and analyzes the notion of nuclear weapons non-proliferation and clarifies its importance. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that total nuclear disarmament in contemporary competitive international politics is almost unattainable due to various factors. Initially, some countries that possess nuclear weapons strive to preserve their dominant position in the international arena, that’s why complete disarmament is impossible, and leading powers utilize them for their self-defense. Therefore, it’s out of the question to abandon ownership of them. The paper seeks to demonstrate the importance of “hard power” (regarding nuclear weapons) as a main tool for great powers to preserve preference. We mean maintaining power and primacy as much as they can, compared to other countries. In this article, it is determined whether nuclea...

Will Putin be able to persuade Lukashenko to directly involve the Belarusian army in the war with Ukraine?

Will Putin be able to persuade Lukashenko to directly involve the Belarusian army in the war with Ukraine? By: Nika Chitadze Professor of the International Black Sea University Director of the Center for International Studies President of the George C. Marshall Alumni Union, Georgia - International and Security Research Center As is known, Russian President Putin flew to Minsk on December 19 with his "landing" - Minister of Defense Shoigu and Minister of Foreign Affairs Lavrov, and held very serious talks with his Belarusian counterpart Lukashenko, which could greatly influence the course of the Russian-Ukrainian war in the next two to three months. The details of Putin's visit to the capital of Belarus were shrouded in secrecy - motorcades of Russian and US presidents usually use two identical armored limousines, which constantly change places in the motorcade to make it difficult for potential attackers of that parti...

АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ?

АРЕСТ ПУТИНА – МИФ, КОТОРЫЙ МОЖЕТ СТАТЬ РЕАЛЬНОСТЬЮ? Как стало известно, 3 сентября запланирован визит российского лидера в Улан-Батор, где он должен принять участие в торжественных мероприятиях по случаю 85-летия совместной победы СССР и Монголии над японскими войсками на реке Халхин-Гол. Также запланирована официальная встреча с президентом Хурэлсухом. Визит Путина в Монголию в Кремле не вызывает «переживаний», несмотря на наличие ордера на его арест, который, по утверждению Международного уголовного суда (МУС) , Улан-Батор обязан выполнить. Примечательно, что Монголия станет первым государством, признающим юрисдикцию МУС, куда Путин намеревается поехать после начала полномасштабного вторжения в Украину. В конце лета 2023 года он отказался от поездки в ЮАР, которая также является страной-подписантом Римского статута. Вместо него тогда в Йоханнесбург, на саммит БРИКС, отправился глава МИД Лавров, а сам же Путин выступил лишь по видеосвязи. Напомним, что 17 марта ...
