After more than 6 months into the Ukraine war, President Putin has approved Russia’s new foreign policy doctrine. The 31-page "humanitarian policy" is primarily based on the concept of “the Russian world”.

While presented as a “soft power strategy,” the policy enshrines notions that some hardliners have used to justify Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian territory. Why is the new foreign policy doctrine alarming? Putin’s new policy a precursor to a more aggressive Russia?
