World Is Moving Toward a Multipolar Order, Expert Says

The world is shifting away from a single power center. Russia, the US and China now lead this global transformation, says international affairs expert Alexey Chepa.

A World in Transition

The world is moving away from a single dominant power. It is heading toward a multipolar order, says international affairs expert and former State Duma deputy Alexey Chepa. He named the United States, Russia and China as the three main centers of power today.

Putin and Trump End Call Together

Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump spoke by phone on Friday. Both leaders hung up at exactly the same moment, said Yuri Ushakov, aide to the Russian president. Trump also said the two sides reached a deal on diesel fuel supplies from Russia during the call.

Chepa called this simultaneous hang up the clearest signal of how the talks actually went. He said neither leader wanted to be the one who ended the call first.

Russia and China Are Back at the Table

Chepa explained the bigger picture behind the shift. He said:

“Essentially, the world is going through a global transformation. We are moving from a unipolar model to a multipolar order, where the main centers of power are the US, Russia and China, along with a rising India and other states.”

He added that energy talks between Moscow and Washington matter, but something bigger is happening. He said:

“It’s important that Moscow and Washington are discussing specific energy agreements. But something else matters far more: global politics is clearly returning to a format where key decisions cannot be made without Russia and China.”

Europe Is Losing Its Grip

According to Chepa, Europe is rapidly losing its independence on the world stage. Ukraine has become the main hostage of this situation, he said. European elites are not ready to meet the challenges of this new era, either economically or politically.

The End of Western Dominance

Chepa stressed that Western dominance, in its old form, is coming to an end. He described the Ukraine conflict as one of the clearest signs of this shift. The conflict revealed the real balance of power that emerged after the Cold War ended.

A Changing World

Looking ahead, Chepa suggested European countries may eventually return to Russian energy resources. This could happen, he said, under new terms shaped by today’s changed geopolitical reality. He summed up his view:

“The world is changing. What matters most now is not clinging to the old system, but understanding the rules of the new one.”
