Brief presentation
IN FOCUS
This issue opens with an analysis of recent dynamics in American-Russian relations. US expectations for a swift ceasefire in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict have notably declined. Washington is increasingly adopting a long-term view, with a growing consensus that Vladimir Putin is the primary obstacle to any settlement.
In this context, Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev’s visit to Washington received a cold reception, and broader diplomatic efforts are showing signs of stagnation. Dmitriev’s role is also facing growing criticism from other actors involved in Russian foreign policy.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
Putin is using the revived Arctic Forum to frame the region as both a strategic asset and a zone of confrontation with NATO.
The Italian company Ariston has regained control of its Russian assets through the mediation of a Kremlin-connected intermediary.
Inside the regime, hardliners are gaining ground. The FSB has arrested prominent businessman Vadim Moshkovich, and there is speculation that former Sverdlovsk governor Yevgeny Kuyvashev may also face prosecution.
Figures such as Dmitry Medvedev and Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov are becoming more assertive; we examine their involvement in the appointment of a new official responsible for migration policy.
Sergei Kiriyenko’s influence is also expanding. His role spans multiple areas and continues to expand, marked by his involvement in personnel decisions and in matters related to Ukraine.
