Putin's "new world order" contradicts kremlin’s real actions – Institute for the Study of War

The ruler of russia, vladimir putin, has presented a plan for a "new world order", which envisages an international system without defense blocs.

This is stated in the russian Offensive Campaign Assessment by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) as of November 8, 2024, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

According to the ISW, according to the concept proposed by putin, the "new world order" should be based on the openness of states to interaction, the absence of universal dogmas, taking into account the interests of all countries when making global decisions, the rejection of defense blocs, justice for all and sovereign equality.

Analysts claim that such statements by putin contradict the actual actions of the kremlin. Russia is waging an illegal war against Ukraine, destabilizing the situation in Moldova and Georgia, and actively cooperating with anti-Western regimes, including North Korea, China, and Iran.

“Kremlin likely aims to use this rhetoric to distract from and provide plausible deniability against the very real Russian efforts to undermine pro-Western governments and exert its influence internationally, as well as promote the expansion of BRICS and the so-called "new Eurasian security architecture" that the Kremlin has created to oppose NATO,” the ISW reports.

Key Takeaways of the ISW for November 8:

- Russian president vladimir putin appears to be assuming that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump will defer to the kremlin's interests and preferences without the Kremlin offering any concessions or benefits in return.

- Putin also acknowledged that russia is dealing with a serious labor shortage and is largely reliant on migrants to address it.

- Putin notably attempted to downplay russia's burgeoning relationship with North Korea during his November 7 Valdai Club statements, likely in an effort to maintain some semblance of a relationship with South Korea and discourage South Korean support for Ukraine.

- The kremlin continues to build its relationship with Venezuela as a means of consolidating and expanding its influence in the Western hemisphere.

- The Ukrainian General Staff reported on November 8 that Ukrainian forces recorded 323 cases of russian forces using ammunition equipped with chemical agents banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in October 2024 alone.

- Ukrainian forces recently advanced in northern Novoivanovka, Kursk Oblast.

- Russian forces recently advanced south of Chasiv Yar, southeast of Kurakhove, and north of Vuhledar.

- Regional Russian authorities continued to promote the expansion of newly established regional territorial defense formations by highlighting efforts to recruit women.
