## Russia’s Uncertain Future: an Interview with Professor Valentin Vacev
**World Today News Exclusive**
**[Image of Associate Professor Valentin Vacev]**
**David Miller**: welcome back to World Today news.I’m David Miller,and today we are joined by Associate Professor Valentin Vacev,a leading expert on Russian foreign policy and international relations. Professor Vacev, thank you for joining us.
**Valentin Vacev**: Thank you for having me, David.
**David Miller**: In a recent interview with Dr. Valentin Trifonov, you discussed Russia’s evolving geopolitical position. Could you elaborate on your observations for our audience?
**Valentin Vacev**: Certainly. The global landscape is in flux, and Russia finds itself navigating a complex and challenging habitat. The war in Ukraine has undoubtedly been a pivotal moment, dramatically altering Russia’s international standing and its relationship with the West.
**David Miller**: You mentioned “pivotal moment.” Could you expand on the long-term implications of the ukraine War for Russia’s global influence?
**Valentin Vacev**: This war has resulted in unprecedented isolation for Russia. Sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and military aid flowing to Ukraine have considerably weakened its international standing and economic power.
The long-term consequences are still unfolding,but it’s clear that Russia’s ability to project power and influence globally has been severely hindered.
Furthermore, the war has exposed deep divisions within Russian society and raised questions about the sustainability of Putin’s regime.
**David Miller**: Many experts have argued that Russia is seeking to recreate a sphere of influence reminiscent of the Soviet era. Do you agree with this assessment?
**Valentin Vacev**: There’s certainly a nostalgic element to russia’s foreign policy, a desire to restore its perceived past glory. Though, I believe the current situation is more complex. Russia lacks the economic and military resources to recreate a Soviet-style empire.
Instead, they are pursuing a more fragmented strategy, seeking to exert influence through a combination of military force, energy leverage, and cyber operations.
**David Miller**: Looking forward, what do you see as the most likely trajectory for Russia in the coming years?
**Valentin Vacev**: Predicting the future is always fraught with uncertainty, but I believe Russia will likely become increasingly isolated and authoritarian. The war in Ukraine has accelerated this trend.
the Kremlin will likely double down on its current strategy, focusing on consolidating control domestically and strengthening ties with ideologically aligned countries.
With its booming military-industrial complex, russia could maintain notable regional influence through military power, while also leveraging its vast energy resources for strategic leverage.
**david Miller**: professor Vacev, thank you for sharing your insights. This has been a fascinating discussion.
**Valentin Vacev**: My pleasure, David.
