ISW appreciated Putin's attempts to create a coalition against the West: Xi Jinping refused to join

On March 31, Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin approved a new concept of Russian foreign policy aimed at creating a potential anti-Western coalition.

 

 This is reported by the Institute for the Study of War.

 

 "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 USA and its "satellites" have unleashed a hybrid war aimed at weakening the Russian Federation," analysts note.

 

 The report indicated 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 informs.

 

 Experts explained that the reduction of Russia's economic power and the degradation of military efforts in Ukraine provide little incentive for other states to show serious interest in the proposal.

 

 "The Kremlin probably decided to publish a new Concept of Foreign Policy on the eve of the presidency of the UN Security Council in order to create informational conditions for future rhetorical efforts in the UN aimed at forming an anti-Western coalition," the Institute for the Study of War added.

 

 ISW Key Findings:

 

 Lukashenko continues to use high-profile public statements to portray Belarus as a sovereign state, despite its current de facto occupation by Russian forces.

 Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov rejected Lukashenko's ceasefire proposal and noted that Russia is not interested in serious negotiations.

 Russian troops continued ground offensives on the Svatove-Kreminna line.

 Ukrainian forces regained positions in the Bakhmut area.

 Russian troops continued their offensive on the Avdiyivka-Donetsk front line.

 Ukrainian strikes on areas of concentration of Russians in southern Ukraine are likely to force the Russian group in the area to change tactics to avoid the risk of attacks.

 Russian officials continue to say that Russian forces are not planning an official second wave of mobilization.

 Russian officials continue to kidnap Ukrainian children and take them to the Russian Federation.
