It takes a superhuman effort to almost draw with the leader of the country, who has been leading it for over 20 years and even redrawn the pitch himself. Erdoğan goes into the second round of the presidential election with an advantage. But where else can Kılıçdaroğlu appeal?

Japan has been considering inviting a liaison office of the Alliance since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The office would be the first of its kind in Asia.

While the direct border between the Alliance countries and Russia is more than doubling - from 1,215 km to an additional 1,340 km - the Finns are bringing significant reinforcements to NATO. In addition to an army of more than 280,000, they also have one of the most powerful artillery fleets.

In the latest NATO perception survey, Slovakia is at the bottom of the rankings in several categories. In particular, people in Montenegro, Slovakia and Bulgaria would support leaving NATO. Slovaks are also the most likely to think that the Alliance is not important for the future security of their homeland. We are also among the most sceptical in the opinion on further support for Ukraine. Compared to the last survey, however, the trend is improving.
