🏰💻 The era of technoeconomic blocs is coming, which means that high technology is moving into the geopolitical plane and taking on a strategic dimension.
Protectionism, the pandemic and the sanctions wars that we have been witnessing over the past few years have contributed to the curtailment of globalisation as we knew it.
The international division of labour at the global level is narrowing and is being localised in individual regions.
Technological independence and security are becoming critical for the main global politics players, and the EU is no exception.
To mitigate the geopolitical risks in an increasingly divided world, in which established production and supply chains are collapsing, the EU has resolved to master key core technologies in microelectronics, quantum computing, artificiial intelligence and blockchain, and to find reliable supply chains.
In other words, the EU is seeking ways to resolve the technological sovereignty issue.

🇪🇺⛔️ Sanctions against Moscow are one of the most important priorities for the EU.
A new position has appeared in the bureaucracy of the European Union - the International Special Envoy for the Implementation of EU Sanctions. This post will be held by David O'Sullivan, who previously was the Ambassador of the European Union to the United States.
The primary task in this area will be to persuade as many countries as possible to formally implement the EU sanctions regime.
First of all, we are talking about diplomatic work with countries that have not implemented the sanctions against Russia, which actively continue to do business with Moscow, thereby undermining its isolation.
What does the appointment mean, what will the new official do, and how effective can his activity be for the political goals of the EU? Writes Ivan Timofeev, Programme Director of the Valdai Discussion Club.
