Russia brings in new policies aimed at ending the ‘global dominance of the US’ as isolated Putin takes increasingly anti-West stance

•  Move from Putin highlights the deterioration of Russia’s relationship with West
•  Isolated Putin increasingly frustrated by sanctions and Western aid for Ukraine
• The new strategy also identified China and India as key partners for the future 

Russia today brought in new policies in a bid to end the ‘global dominance of the US’ as Vladimir Putin takes an increasingly anti-West stance.

The Russian despot signed off the new foreign policy which cements the deep Cold War-style rupture between Moscow and the West over the invasion of Ukraine. 

It also identified China and India as key partners for the future, which comes just 11 days on from President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow where the two premiers flaunted their alliance.

‘The Russian Federation intends to give priority to the elimination of vestiges of the dominance of the United States and other unfriendly countries in world politics,’ the 42-page strategy document said.

The term ‘unfriendly countries’ refer to countries, particularly in Europe and North America, that have condemned the atrocities seen in Ukraine since the invasion began in February 2022.

The Russian president, who announced the document at a security council meeting, said that the changes were necessary because of the ‘radical changes’ in the world.

The move from Putin reflects the president’s increasingly anti-West stance in the face of sanctions imposed on the country as well as military aid supplied to Ukraine.

Putin and Rusia have become increasingly isolated on the world stage prompting Moscow to boost political and economical ties with the likes of China and India, who have taken a more neutral stance towards their invasion of Ukraine.

Within the new strategy, Russia singles out ties with China and India, stressing the importance of ‘the deepening of ties and coordination with friendly sovereign global centres of power and development located on the Eurasian continent.’

Putin recently talked up relations with China during President Xi Jinping’s visit to Moscow.

Moscow has stepped up energy supplies to both China and India after being almost entirely cut off from its traditional European markets.

The document also described Russia as a ‘state-civilisation’ tasked with defending what it called the ‘Russian world’ of related cultures on the Eurasian continent.

The concept of a ‘Russian world’ is used by the Kremlin to justify its actions in Ukraine with claims that it is defending the country’s Russian-speaking minority.

The strategy also said that Russia would defend ‘traditional spiritual and moral values’ against ‘pseudo-humanistic and other neo-liberal ideological attitudes’.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the document recognised ‘the existential nature of threats to the security and development of our country, driven by the actions of unfriendly states’.

‘The United States of America is directly named as the main instigator and driver of anti-Russian sentiment,’ he said.

‘The West’s policy of trying to weaken Russia in every possible way is characterised as a hybrid war of a new type’.

Earlier today, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko – a staunch ally of Putin – warned a nuclear third world war ‘looms on the horizon’ due to NATO’s support for Kyiv as he insisted Russia will use nukes if they fear defeat in Ukraine.
