The Russia Report | Volume I | Issue 1
The Russia Report provides a comprehensive overview of Russia’s domestic developments, foreign relations, and the Ukraine conflict. Domestically, Putin’s meetings with regional leaders focus on economic growth, infrastructure, and military support. Russia continues to counter sanctions, expand global ties, and respond to international criticism, including banning Japanese officials over sanctions. On the Ukraine conflict, Russia reports Ukrainian attacks, opposes European peacekeepers, and monitors NATO’s presence in Eastern Europe. Diplomatic engagements with China, Türkiye, and the Middle East continue, including mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran. Economic sanctions remain a key issue, with Switzerland aligning with EU policies, while the U.S. considers tougher sanctions over Ukraine.
