Europe and Russia
Europe is where the old industrial order is being reordered – by an energy shock, a two-speed split between a sunlit south and an open north, trade friction and a shifting security map from Ukraine to the UK.

This hub gathers our daily Europe coverage and links it to the wider Global South story.
