Russia's New Foreign Policy Targets Western Influence and Allies with India and China.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced a new foreign policy strategy aimed at curtailing Western "dominance" while drawing the country closer to China and India. The strategy reflects Putin's increasingly anti-Western stance in the face of sanctions and Western military support for Ukraine. The document recognizes "the existential nature of threats to the security and development of our country, driven by the actions of unfriendly states." The new strategy also highlights Russia's strengthening ties with China and India, which are described as “friendly sovereign global centers of power and development.”
