With Allies Scarce, Russia Paints Itself as the Enemy of ‘Western Colonialism’ - The Moscow Times

Opinion | The 11th Moscow Conference on International Security brought together leading figures of the Russian security apparatus with the defense ministers of Moscow’s non-Western partners, and an increasingly scarce array of international allies.  After discussing the emerging multipolar world order, the conference agenda pivoted to in-depth examinations of events in the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.

For seasoned watchers of Russia’s foreign and security policy, these narratives [of Russia as the enemy of the West] cover familiar ground, researcher Samuel Ramani says. But they also encapsulated Russia’s campaign to blame the West for instigating the Ukraine war as well as its efforts to align with China against the threat of U.S. unilateralism in the Asia-Pacific region and pander to popular narratives about Western misconduct in the Middle East and North Africa.
