Putin’s visit has not been confirmed, but Chinese officials have suggested he will be arriving late Monday., Putin said it would encompass talks on Belt and Road-related projects, which he said Moscow wants to link with efforts taken by an economic alliance of ex-Soviet Union nations mostly located in Central Asia to “achieve common development goals.
“For Russia, China is its lifeline, economic lifeline in its brutal repression against Ukraine,” Gabuev told the Associated Press. “I don’t expect that Russia and China will create a military alliance,” Gabuev said. “Both countries are self-sufficient in terms of security and they benefit from partnering, but neither really requires a security guarantee from the other. And they preach strategic autonomy.”
