ABSTRACT

The main task of the foreign policy of the Russian Federation is to provide external conditions for the sustainable socio-economic development of country. Russia today faces serious problems in foreign policy. They are largely connected with the intensification of the confrontational policies of the West, first of all, of the USA towards Russia. The situation is complicated by the rise of anti-Russian sanctions initiated by the United States of America after the accession of the Crimea to Russia. At the same time, there is a devaluation of the role of international law in solving major intergovernmental problems, decline in the prestige of international institutions that are called upon to regulate international relations and to ensure a stable world order. Analyzing the foreign policy of Russia and its results, the author came to the conclusion that as a result of miscalculations, Russia recently has fewer allies and more opponents. For this reason, our country spends hundreds of billions of dollars to increase its defense. According to President V. Putin, twenty trillion rubles have been allocated for the rearmament of the army and navy. And if Russia managed to be drawn into a new arms race, then diplomats do not fulfill their primary function.
