Kremlin agrees with Biden on need to build 'new world order' but disagrees on US capability
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the United States was talking about an 'American-centric' world order that would not exist in future. The US President, Joe Biden, has called for a new world order, stating that the existing order that had served for 50 years after World War Two has run out of steam and a new one is needed. However, Russia disagrees with Biden's ability to build such a system, arguing that an American-centric world order will not exist in the future. This comes amid a growing interest in Russia in convincing developing countries to join in building a new, independent world. The Kremlin has expressed rare agreement with Biden on the need for such a new order, but disagrees with the US's capability.

The exchange was emblematic of a contest, playing out against the background of the Ukraine and Gaza wars, in which Russia is trying to persuade developing countries to join it in building a new world free of U.S. “hegemony”.
In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the U.S. was talking about an “American-centric” world order that would not exist in future.
In a speech on Friday, Biden said the order that had worked well for 50 years after World War Two had “sort of run out of steam” and a new one was needed. He said Americans had “an opportunity to do things, if we’re bold enough and have enough confidence in ourselves, to unite the world in ways that it never has been”.
Peskov said Moscow was in rare agreement with Biden about the need for a new order that, in his words, would be “free from the concentration of all mechanisms of world governance in the hands of one state”.
But he said Russia disagreed with Biden about the capacity of the United States to build such a system.
“In this part we disagree because the United States… no matter what world order they talk about, they mean an American-centric world order, that is, a world that revolves around the United States. It won’t be that way any more.”
