Methodology. Methods of comparative analysis of data contained in various sources, such as the literature method of research and content analysis, were applied. The methodological basis of the work is the empirical method of research.
Results. Based on the analysis of the literature and the media, it was concluded that Russia plays an indispensable role in maintaining security and strategic stability in the Asia-Pacific region, and China has a decisive influence on the political, economic and security spheres of the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, in the context of the Ukrainian crisis, Sino-Russian relations will continue to be based on national strategic interests and will hardly change due to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the EU and USA provocations.
