Conversations on Groong - April 25, 2026In this episode of the Groong podcast, we speak with Dr. Dmitry Suslov about the shifting geopolitical landscape across the Iran war, the Ukraine conflict, and the South Caucasus. We examine the fragile state of the Iran war and its impact on global trade and regional escalation, Russia’s strategic positioning, and the potential for a broader conflict involving Azerbaijan and Turkey. The discussion then turns to the Ukraine war, focusing on attrition, Europe’s growing militarization, and the prospects for a long-term Russia–Europe confrontation. Finally, we explore Russia’s policy in the South Caucasus, including Armenia’s political trajectory, tensions following Pashinyan’s Moscow visit, and the broader balance of power shaping Armenia’s future.Topics:Iran war dynamics and Russia’s roleUkraine war and Europe’s militarizationArmenia’s pivot and Russia’s responseRegional power balanceGuestDr. Dmitry SuslovHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 534 | Recorded: April 24, 2026SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/534VIDEO: https://youtu.be/kjUQN8LVuFk#Russia #IranWar #UkraineWar #SouthCaucasus #Armenia #TRIPP #Geopolitics #EurasiaSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong
