Analysis
Russia is a middle power in Asia.
Russia's overall score rose by one point to 32.1 in 2025, overtaking Australia to regain fifth place.
Russia places third for two measures — military capability and resilience. It experienced rank increases for its economic capability, where it rose by two places to seventh, and defence networks, where it rose by four to seventh.
Russia's weakest measure is economic relationships, where it places 17th, reflecting its limited trade and investment relationships with most countries in Asia.
Russia exerts less influence in the region than expected given its available resources, as indicated by the country's negative Power Gap score, although this gap narrowed since 2024.
