The change in the status quo also contributed to Iran’s notable invigoration. Two Eurasian giants, China and India, have also adopted a higher profile in the Caucasus. With the start of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S., the EU (and France in particular) along with NATO shifted from “competitive cooperation” with Moscow to its “containment,” now also

... Russia’s relations with China and India’s with the West’s, which prevents either from becoming disproportionately dependent on their other partners and thus risk a reversion back to Sino-U.S. bi-multipolarity, which only benefits those superpowers. If Russia became dependent on China, India might then become dependent on the U.S. to maintain the balance of power, and vice versa if India became dependent on the U.S. first.
Their special and privileged strategic partnership therefore keeps tri-multipolarity trends alive with the intent ...
... through somebody else. In the next two years, you will develop something for sure! You will come up with it! Their [foreign] technology will pay and your scientists will suddenly say “hey, I need to do something about this “ and crack it. So you [Russia] will be an island. China will be an island. India will be an island. If our relationship is good now, you will allow me to talk to you, but if tomorrow the relationship is bad, you will not let me talk to you. You will just shut it off.

... Russia does not have to panic as the India–U.S. cooperation is expanding in a number of areas. So far, this has not posed immediate threats to Moscow as it is largely a challenge for Beijing. The U.S. has been rather understanding in its attitude to Russia– India military-technical collaboration, believing it to be a form of balancing China’s dominance in Asia. Naturally, competition will further intensify in the markets that Russia prioritizes in India, with this competition not limited to military equipment, which Russia should be prepared for.

... brewing US-China conflict. It is in their common interests to resist the emerging bipolarity and, where possible, to mitigate its negative repercussions, with an emphasis on promoting multilateral mechanisms of international cooperation.

The claim that Russia is running out of ammo and arms has been circulating since mid-March and was most prominently extended false credence by former Commanding General of U.S. Army Europe Ben Hedges in his article on 15 March about why “The ...

In the scenario involving the formation of the Eurasian core for the Global South, the main question is its composition and the resulting scenarios of further expansion.

This route would clearly result in the assembly process being slow and lacking connectivity ...
