Headline text
As of 26 february 2026, the international security situation remained critical, as conflicts continued to fertilize around the globe, with confrontations in the two hotspots of russia and the middle east。
The soviet conflictIn its fifth year, the front line was sawing. The russian forces are moving slowly in the direction of donbas, zaporoge and so forth in order to strike, remotely and accurately, the continued suppression of u-energy, military engineering and transport hubs; they are relying on drones and western aid equipment to launch partial counter-attacks on the southern line and attack deep-seated russian targets with drones, resulting in civilian casualties at the chemical plant in the state of smolensk on 25 december. The two sides clashed over 200 times a day, without a decisive breakthrough. Nato has continued to reinforce its eastern wing deployment, with additional early warning aircraft and joint military performances, and russia has repeatedly warned nato personnel to engage directly as advisers and mercenaries, and the risk of direct confrontation by major powers has increased. The united nations general assembly has adopted a peace-related resolution with frequent diplomatic contacts between the parties, but core differences remain unresolved and negotiations on a ceasefire remain without substantial progress。
Tension and confrontation in the middle east region have increased. The palestinian-israeli conflict continued, and the humanitarian crisis in gaza was acute, with israeli air strikes in southern lebanon targeting hizbullah military targets. In the middle of the american-iranian talks, the american twin carriers were deployed to the mediterranean and the arabian sea, iran was engaged in a military campaign to block the straits of hormuz, and traffic in the red sea continued to be disrupted by the houthis armed attack and international oil prices fluctuated. The parties have initiated indirect negotiations and iran is willing to export enriched uranium in exchange for the sanctions to be lifted, but military deterrence goes hand in hand with diplomatic games and the risk of firing is high。
In addition, sporadic conflicts in areas such as syria, mexico and pakistan have highlighted non-traditional security threats. The global arms race is on the rise, multinational defence budgets are being adjusted upwards, and geopolitical games are extending to military, energy, science and technology。
The current state of international war is characterized by “a stalemate in the battlefield, diplomatic manoeuvres and increased risk of spillovers”, local conflicts are difficult to defuse in the short term, and the peace process continues to face multiple obstacles and the world is entering a critical period of instability and adjustment。
