Russia National Security Strategy and NATO Expansion
President Vladimir Putin signed a new national security document formally designating NATO expansion as a primary threat to Russia. The document highlights the 2016 trade agreement between Ukraine and the EU as a violation of past Western promises.

The plan involves creating a "three-legged stool" of regional powers to ensure no single nation dominates the Middle East or controls total access to oil and gas. This strategy aims to maintain controllable stability through semi-equal parties, preventing any one block from becoming a global threat.
