Russia in Global Affairs

Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, had a conversation with Glenn Diesen. In this interview, he argues that Russian demands for peace are not maximalist; rather, the consistent demands for restoring Ukraine’s neutrality became a territorial dispute as the conflict escalated over the years and grew more complex.

Upon returning from Sochi, where the 22nd Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club had just concluded, our Editor-in-Chief, Fyodor Lukyanov, was interviewed by the Die Weltwoche daily (Switzerland).

This liberal world order, which in its essence was universalistic, that is, based on the idea that there is some common normative base for everyone, and its source is the West, has ended.

During his first presidential term, Donald Trump was praised for not starting a single war, a notable departure from his predecessors. In the first six months of his second term, he and his team actively tried to appropriate the peace-making mantle, frustrating allies and winning over some enemies. And then Israel bombed Iran. What does it mean for practical geopolitics going forward? Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs, became a guest of the Words Apart TV show on RT.

In an interview for Strategic Compass, Professor Hasan Ünal spoke with Fyodor Lukyanov, Editor-in-Chief of Russia in Global Affairs magazine, about Moscow’s position on the war in Ukraine. Lukyanov made it clear: Russia will not accept a ceasefire unless it’s part of a full peace agreement.

In this interview with "Missing Voices," Sergey Karaganov argues that the liberal world order began crumbling after World War I and unraveled further through decolonization and the Soviet collapse. He calls for new institutions within BRICS and the SCO, reflecting on Russia’s shift toward the "World Majority" amid the Ukraine conflict.

The path to a potential settlement in Ukraine remains fraught with geopolitical tensions, yet subtle shifts in US-Russia dialogue suggest a narrowing of frameworks—despite starkly differing starting points. Fyodor Lukyanov, in this conversation with Glenn Diesen, outlines how the US and Russian frameworks for ending the military conflict are coming together.
