Russia’s Foreign Policy

Abstract:

Russia’s foreign policy is characterized by its strategic ambitions, regional influence, and efforts to assert its power on the global stage. Key areas of focus include its relations with Western countries, particularly in the context of sanctions and the Ukraine conflict, its strategic partnerships with China and other non-Western countries, and its influence in the Middle East, Africa, and the Arctic. Russia’s approach combines military strength, energy diplomacy, and cyber capabilities to pursue its geopolitical goals. The annexation of Crimea, involvement in Syria, and interference in foreign elections highlight the assertive and often controversial nature of Russian foreign policy.
