As the geopolitical balance in Europe continues to shift, the Black Sea has emerged as a key frontline in defending democracy and stability on the continent. Russia’s ongoing aggression, the unfinished dismantling of the Soviet legacy, and the struggle for control over critical trade routes and energy corridors have made the region a testing ground for the future of the liberal world order.
Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) talks to Ambassador Batu Kutelia, Senior Fellow at the Delphi Global Research Center and former Ambassador of Georgia to the United States, ahead of the Black Sea Security Conference in Sofia. Together, they discuss the strategic importance of the Black Sea, NATO’s role in ensuring regional security, and the urgent need for democratic resilience in the face of authoritarian expansion.
