In what world is Russia a regional power? Russia is by any standard a global power.Russia at this point is a regional power. Land wise, it's the largest country, so don't confuse it's borders touching Asia and EU, a sign of it being a global power. Minus the nukes, what does Russia has to project power for 2 years over any other nation / region? It also lacks economic sustainability of being in a war / confrontation and recovering from it. Afghanistan comes to mind as an example.
Russia has the world's 6th largest economy by PPP. It has the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world. The second most powerful military in the world. The most powerful land army in the world. A blue water navy. Russia's extensive mineral and energy resources are the world's largest, and it is one of the leading producers of oil and natural gas globally. A member of the G-20.
