RUSSIA-CHINA PARTNERSHIP: AFTERMATH CONSEQUENCES OF THE UKRAINE CRISIS.

KEMITRAAN RUSIA-CINA: KONSEKUENSI SETELAH KRISIS UKRAINA. (Indonesian)

This research examines the Russia-China alliance after Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, which impacted the world and led to polarity in international politics. The United States and its western allies have tried to weaken Russia's dominance economically and politically. At the same time, China has supported and strengthened cooperation with Russia. This study uses a qualitative method by analyzing and critically reading the data collected through literature study. The result found that the expansion of NATO membership triggers Russia to act because of external threats. The West agreed to embargoes and sanctions against Russia, affecting 90% of Russian oil and gas markets. However, Russia showed its strength and warned of nuclear threats. This study also contends that amid the US pressure that caused Russia to lose its Western buyers, China backed Russia and became its potential oil buyer. The US pressure on Russia has brought Russia-China even closer. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menganalisis dan membaca secara kritis data yang dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa perluasan keanggotaan NATO memicu tindakan Rusia karena adanya ancaman eksternal. Barat setuju untuk melakukan embargo dan sanksi terhadap Rusia, yang memengaruhi 90% pasar minyak dan gas Rusia. Namun, Rusia menunjukkan kekuatannya dan memperingatkan ancaman nuklir. Studi ini juga berpendapat bahwa di tengah tekanan AS yang menyebabkan Rusia kehilangan pembeli Baratnya, Cina mendukung Rusia dan menjadi pembeli minyak potensialnya. Tekanan AS terhadap Rusia telah membawa Rusia-China semakin dekat. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
