Rafael Calduch Cervera explains the transformation of the Russian security agenda, culminating in Putin’s speech at the 43rd International Security Policy Conference in which he promised to oppose the unilateral hegemony of the United States when necessary to preserve Russia’s best interests. In Calduch Cervera’s opinion, the current President of the United States transformed the history of past multilateral action by unilaterally invading Iraq, and Russia has followed suit, transforming its security agenda on all fronts. The Western powers must take Putin’s statement very seriously in order to uphold good relations with Russia for the greater stability of Europe and the world.
