Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Dr. Flavia Lucenti, Postdoctoral Researcher at LUISS University for the EU Horizon Project REMIT.

She explores how the wars in Ukraine and Iran are reshaping the Sino Russian partnership. And Dr. Lucenti also highlights the structural asymmetry in the relationship: while China purchases a substantial share of Russian exports, “Russia accounts only 4% of China international trade”.
