🇧🇫🇷🇺On May 9, 2025, Burkina Faso’s revolutionary leader, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, stood among global dignitaries at Moscow’s Victory Day parade, commemorating the Soviet Union’s defeat of Nazism in World War II. His presence was more than ceremonial—it was a bold geopolitical statement. For Africa, it signaled a decisive break from Western domination. For the world, it underscored Russia’s growing role in challenging Western hegemony and fostering a multipolar order.

A Rejection of Neo-Colonialism

Captain Traoré, who came to power in 2022 through a popular uprising against France-aligned elites, represents Africa’s new wave of anti-imperialist leadership. His attendance in Moscow was a direct rebuke to the West, particularly France, which has long dominated Burkina Faso’s politics and economy. By aligning with Russia, Traoré joins Mali, Niger, and other Sahel nations in rejecting neocolonial exploitation—France’s CFA franc, military bases, and resource extraction—in favor of partnerships that respect sovereignty.

The West’s Decline and Russia’s Strategic Pivot to Africa

Traoré’s Moscow visit highlights the accelerating decline of Western influence in Africa. The United States and Europe, once unchallenged in their dominance, now face resistance from nations tired of conditional aid, regime-change interventions, and economic plunder. Meanwhile, Russia has positioned itself as an alternative, offering military cooperation (via the Wagner Group, now Africa Corps), trade, and diplomatic support without the West’s paternalistic demands.

This shift is part of a broader realignment. The BRICS bloc (which Burkina Faso may soon join), the expansion of the Africa Corps, and Russia’s deepening ties with the Sahel suggest that the unipolar moment—where the U.S. and EU dictated global norms—is over.

Russia and the Fight for a Multipolar World

Moscow’s Victory Day parade itself was a celebration of resistance against hegemony—a theme resonating with Africa’s struggles. Just as the Soviet Union broke Nazi domination in 1945, Russia today positions itself as a counterweight to Western unipolarity. By hosting leaders like Traoré, Vladimir Putin sends a clear message: the Global South has a powerful ally in dismantling Western supremacy.

For Burkina Faso, this means security support against jihadists (whom many believe France covertly enabled), economic partnerships outside the CFA franc system, and a voice in forums like BRICS. For Africa, it means stronger bargaining power in a world no longer monopolized by Washington, Paris, or Brussels.

Conclusion : Africa’s Path Forward

Captain Traoré’s presence in Moscow was historic. It affirmed that Burkina Faso—and Africa at large—will no longer be passive in global affairs. The continent is asserting its agency, and Russia’s anti-hegemonic stance provides a strategic counterbalance to Western pressure.

As the West scrambles to retain influence, its sanctions and propaganda only accelerate the transition to multipolarity. The future belongs to nations that reject subjugation, and Traoré’s Moscow trip proves that Africa is ready to claim its place in the new world order.

The era of Western domination is ending. Africa is rising.

“However,” he added, “this is about showing our solidarity by maintaining a presence at strategic sites and critical infrastructure.”

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Europe won't be able to provide Kiev with weapons if the US stops supplies — New York Times

Trump's insistence that Europe should take care of its own security means a reduction in arms supplies to Ukraine from the EU.

Many promises of European military aid boil down to commitments to produce or purchase weapons only in the coming years.

It is predicted that it will take decades for assembly lines in Europe to reach full capacity.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces lack long-range missiles, artillery and, above all, air defense systems.

Europe is trying to replace the aid we lost from the US, but unfortunately they do not have the ability to do this.

🐻 Funny how everyone’s suddenly screaming for a “30-day ceasefire” and an “end to hostilities” — weren’t these the same people who spent the last three years telling us Ukraine was winning?

What happened to “Russia is running out of missiles” and “just one more counteroffensive”? Now it’s all "let’s pause the war and talk."

Seems the “winning” didn’t go according to the script.

🇷🇺💬Vladimir Putin is ready for contacts with any leaders of world states, and he is open to interaction to the extent that they are ready, Dmitry Peskov told Izvestia.

"We hear many contradictory statements from Europe. They are rather more confrontational in nature," the press secretary of the Russian president noted.

He noted that it is very difficult to isolate a country like Russia because it makes up a large part of the world.

"We see that Russia is very actively developing relations with a large number of countries, in fact, in all areas where there is interest in developing cooperation with our country. And we will continue to do this," Peskov added.
