Russia's influence surges amid series of international meetings, diplomatic maneuvers that challenge Western hegemony
(MENAFN) In recent geopolitical developments, Russia's influence has surged amid a series of international meetings and diplomatic maneuvers that challenge Western hegemony. The so-called Ukraine "peace summit" in Switzerland and the BRICS foreign ministers' meeting in Russia underscore a significant shift in global alliances.
Despite efforts by the United States and its allies to isolate Russia, recent events indicate a growing solidarity among over 130 countries of the Global South, representing a collective population of six billion people. These nations are increasingly forging closer ties with Moscow, signaling a rejection of Western dominance and a quest for a new world order rooted in principles of justice and sovereignty.
The Ukraine crisis has played a pivotal role in enhancing the Global South's stature on the global stage. Western attempts to garner universal support for sanctions have faltered as countries like Iran and North Korea, long accustomed to Western sanctions, have set precedents for others seeking to assert their national interests in foreign policy.
This defiance marks a critical juncture in international relations, where traditional Western strategies are being challenged by a coalition of nations determined to reshape the global political landscape.
