Russia's Pivot To Asia: Issue 15

In this issue: In a week dominated by Syria, we look at how Russia is adapting to these changes in two articles. More serious, longer-term global impacts will be felt by the West’s decision to divert Russian interest to Ukraine to pay off loans. That will usher in global economic repercussions - we provide analysis. Elsewhere, Russia’s moves to diversify trade and investment flows continues at a fast pace as we highlight developments throughout Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America. Finally, Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russia’s Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov is an interesting read for those willing to listen to Moscow’s perception of global affairs.
