Abstract

Russian leadership for decades has been skeptical of the US-centric world, considering it both a threat to Russia’s sovereignty and the great power status. At the same time, the main goal of Russia appears to be less making Russia the new global leader and more creating a multipolar world with numerous power centers engaging in various alliances and conflicts. The war in Ukraine, due to the commitment of the Western nations and the US to support this country, is currently perceived in Moscow as a way to coming closer to this multipolar world. Whether this perception has changed under Donald Trump, is doubtful.
