With Syria’s Bashar al-Assad ousted and the war in Ukraine dragging into its third year, Vladimir Putin faces mounting challenges to his global strategy.

Meanwhile Putin says he's ready for talks with US President elect Trump, while challenging the US to a "missile duel" for the 21st century.

From alliances with China and North Korea to tensions with the US and NATO, we explore the challenges and ambitions shaping Russia's strategy.
