Russian President Putin is going to China. The news is like a gulp of
fresh air in the suffocating atmosphere of Kiev with its burnt tires and
repressions against dissidents. The tour is a positive step forward

The 4th Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building
Measures in Asia (CICA) Summit will be held in Shanghai, China from May
20 to 21. The theme of this year’s summit will be «increasing dialogue,

Philosophers would call it cognitive dissonance, or an absurdity fatal
for Europe itself.
