Russia in Global Affairs

Russia, China, and the US form a strategic triangle of power that is not static. It will shift.

The U.S. and Russia clearly value the opportunity that has opened up before them, and do not want to miss it, in which case we would likely see a return to the previous level of confrontation, or even worse.

Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, had a conversation with Glenn Diesen. They discussed the possibility for Russia to transform relations with the US. While the EU used to be considered the “good West”, it is becoming the key opponent.

The US president sees Ukraine as a failing asset, not an ally.

What is it like to sit on stage with Putin? When did relations with the West go wrong? And what in the world is the “world majority”? Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, took part in The Trialogue podcast by the Stimson Center.

Moscow must resist the illusion of a new romance with Washington.

The future of the world order will not be decided on the battlefields of Ukraine – unless, of course, events spiral into a nuclear catastrophe, a scenario that cannot be entirely ruled out. The outcome of this war will determine the future relationship between Russia and its neighbors, as well as Russia’s role in the international system. And one thing is certain: no one is interested in a draw.

The EU’s illusions have been shattered as the US moves on.

For Donald Trump, the concepts of democracy, autocracy, values, and non-values are not important. In his view, these interests are more important than other countries' interests. Therefore, Ukraine is not considered a vital interest by Trump. He believes that Ukraine does not deserve the attention, money, and political turmoil that it has received. Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, took part in Conversations on Groong — a podcast by Armenian News Network.
