Putin is trying to form anti-Western coalition at UN. China will not join, - ISW
The new concept of Russian foreign policy, approved by Putin, is aimed at creating a potential anti-Western coalition. But he could not convince China to join this association.
This is stated in a review of the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Censor.NET reports.
"The new concept of foreign policy paints the West as an anti-Russian and international destabilizing force to a much greater extent than the previous concept of 2016, and directly states that the US and its "satellites" have unleashed a hybrid war aimed at weakening the Russian Federation," the report says. .
Analysts recalled that Putin sought to use meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping on March 20-22 to step up efforts to rhetorically rally the rest of the world against the West.
"The dictator's proposal to form an anti-Western bloc during Xi's visit to Moscow was not received positively, as he refused to include China in the geopolitical conflict that Putin envisioned with the West," ISW notes.
It also suggests that the Kremlin has decided to publish a new Foreign Policy Concept on the eve of the UN Security Council presidency, which will create informational conditions "for future rhetorical efforts at the UN aimed at forming an anti-Western coalition."
