New concept of Russian foreign policy
2023-04-01
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rohzin is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] Putin signed a new concept of Russian foreign policy that was being prepared during 2022. The old one was adopted in 2016 and is completely outdated. Now, at the doctrinal level (unlike the previous one), the fight against American hegemony is spelled out, as well as the basic vision of a future multipolar world order without a clear hegemon.

Actually, this de jure fixes the already de facto process of Russia's exit from the unipolar American world and the nature of the contradictions between the Russian Federation and the United States that cannot be eliminated at the current stage. And there are still a lot of progress.
