Russia’s diplomats were once a key part of President Putin’s foreign policy strategy. But that has all changed.
In the years leading up to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, diplomats lost their authority, their role reduced to echoing the Kremlin’s aggressive rhetoric.
BBC Russian asks former diplomats, as well as ex-Kremlin and White House insiders, how Russian diplomacy broke down.
Ah yes, Russian diplomacy is so weak that pretty much all of the world outside the west is aligned with Russia
Haven’t you heard? The West IS the world!
Hamburgers, anyone?
Russian diplomacy is at their weakest, which is why almost every single African country sent a delegation to Moscow.
You gotta remember though, people who claim that Russia is isolated are the same people who were outraged that Russia started a war in a country where people have blue eyes and blond hair.
Diplomacy isn’t just cozying up to nations that are your friends and and insulting others, it’s having cordial relations with all nations.
Yes it is.
No it’s not.
You’ve literally described western diplomacy here.
No one does this, though?
If that’s diplomacy, then we’re living in a world of the opposite.
I agree with this take. But very few countries follow this kind of diplomacy.
