The "new diplomacy" of cell phones: direct calls between leaders like Zelensky and Macron are transforming diplomacy, making it faster and more informal, but also riskier.

In a complex geopolitical context, cell phones are facilitating a "new diplomacy" between leaders such as Zelenski and Macron, who communicate frequently to address pressing issues. This shift allows for more direct and spontaneous discussions, but also raises questions about privacy and influence. While informal contacts can speed up decisions, they can exclude advisers and create risks, especially in dealing with leaders like Trump or Putin.
