What's next for the US-Central Europe relations with the Biden's administration? When will American President visit the region? Will Joe Biden go to Poland? Warsaw is for the US the most important security partner in the region. Or will Biden visit Slovakia?

Hello and welcome to the first episode of my new podcast the Global Agora. My name is Andrej Matišák, and I work as the deputy head of foreign desk in Slovak daily Pravda. My guest is Mark Galeotti. He is, as his Twitter bio says, an analyst of murky topics from Russian politics to global crime and his podcast is called in Moscow's shadows. Mark is an author of a number of books about Russia. Most recently We need to talk about Putin and A Short History of Russia.

And Russia is also again in the news.

Czech government decided to expel 18 Russian diplomats as it concluded that Russian military agents were involved in an ammunition depot explosion in Czechia in 2014. Two Czech civilians were killed at that time. Czechia is also searching for the GRU operatives Alexander Mishkin and Anatoliy Chepiga who were also involved in the Skripals poisoning.
