Russia is losing Latin America: who is taking its place after sanctions.

According to inkorr.com: The international sanctions imposed on Russia after its invasion of Ukraine have significantly reduced its geopolitical influence in Latin America. According to the Ukrainian Foreign Intelligence Service, the implementation of the 'Primakov Doctrine', aimed at increasing cooperation with these countries, is now mainly taking place through symbolic diplomatic steps.

'The main partners remain Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela - countries with historical ties to the USSR'

Representatives of the Foreign Intelligence Service note that the sanctions have also led to a decrease in military-technical cooperation. Russia no longer supplies Soviet-era weapons to Latin America due to the depletion of its stockpiles during the war with Ukraine.

'Instead, several Latin American countries are considering the possibility of modernizing or completely replacing outdated systems in cooperation with the USA'

Experts believe that against the backdrop of weakened Russian positions, Iran and China have intensified their activities in Latin America. Iran is increasing the volume of arms supplies, while China is expanding scientific-military cooperation, strengthening its strategic ties with countries in the region.

After the imposition of international sanctions against Russia due to its aggression in Ukraine, its presence in Latin America has significantly decreased. At the same time, Iran and China are intensifying their positions and expanding cooperation in this region, which may impact the global political situation.
