In addition, Professor Kovacevic focuses on the Russian president Vladimir Putin’s unannounced visit to Syria and his speech at the Russian airbase Khmeimim. He also looks at the implications of the U.S. president Donald Trump’s recent decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for the perception of the U.S. and Russia’s power in the Middle East.
