Ukraine marks Independence Day while fighting Russia and advancing through the EU accession process. Georgia celebrates the anniversary of its constitution amid worsening relations with Europe and a government increasingly reluctant to confront Moscow. Belarus, meanwhile, marks an independence anniversary largely outside the state calendar as Alexander Lukashenko’s regime becomes increasingly dependent on Russia for its political, economic, and military survival. Eastern Express looks at what three and a half decades of post-Soviet independence have actually produced and where these countries may be heading next. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
