With the 93rd military parade and the Shanghai Cooperation Summit, heads of state have arrived in Tianjin one after another, preparing to participate in this year's Shanghai Cooperation Summit.
In this cooperation summit, the most concerned person is Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the absence of peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, Putin's every move will be infinitely amplified.
And Putin’s visit to China, with most of Russia’s senior leaders, lasted four days, which is unprecedented. even Putin’s press secretary Peskov said it was a large-scale and significant visit by Putin.
However, Ukraine is very unhappy to see Putin in the international community. Just when Putin embarked on a special trip to China, Russia suddenly came to the back of the country, and Ukraine sent "guns" for Putin's trip.
The Ukrainian army blew up Russia's "Friendship" pipeline connecting Hungary and Slovakia.
This pipeline can be traced back to the former Soviet Union, from the southwest of Russia, all the way through Poland, the Czech Republic, Belarus and Hungary. All countries have benefited from this pipeline and received a large amount of cheap Russian energy supplies.
Even after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, since the pipeline was vital to all European countries, it was not affected by sanctions, and everyone was very implicit about what to do, ignoring the existence of the pipeline.
This also caused the Ukrainian army to head the pipeline, when Russia had not yet spoken, and Hungary and Slovakia were in a hurry to jump, and Hungary was especially accusing Zelensky.
This is not surprising. Hungary relies on the pipeline for 90% of its national oil consumption. This move by the Ukrainian army is likely to paralyze the operation of the Hungarian state, which will inevitably affect Hungary's national security.
In a sense, this is also Ukraine's response to Europea means of pressureIt forces Europe to always be Ukraine's "backstop" and to be deeply bound to Ukraine.
At the same time, Russia is not feeling well. Since the Ukrainian army lowered its bottom line, it has used drones to attack 12 refineries in Russia for 10 consecutive days, and this operation is still in progress.
Energy exports as the main pillar industry of the Russian economy, the position in Russia's economic share is crucial, and Ukraine's attack, leaving Russia to lose at least more than 20% of its oil refining capacity, which will worsen Russia's already severe economic situation.
Trump also warned that if the price of Russian crude oil fell by another $10, Russia's economy would collapse, and Putin would have to stop the war.
Today, Russia's oil price ceiling cannot be broken through. Even if you want to win by volume and take the road of small profits but quick turnover, it is really difficult to continue production in the case of frequent attacks on refineries. This two-headed situation has also made the Russian economy worse and worse.
This is evident in Russia, most notably in the fact that the prices of daily goods and food have been somewhat unbearable, especially the increase in food prices is very obvious.
At the same time, Russia's domestic oil supply has become increasingly tight, making it difficult to maintain basic oil supplies.
Amid this double dilemma, Trump continues to clamor, threatening that if Putin fails to reach a ceasefire with Ukraine within the specified time, the Western world led by the United States will impose more stringent sanctions on Russia, including imposing "secondary tariffs" on countries trading with Russia. Trump has already killed India as a "chicken" to Russia.
It seems that Putin is already in a predicament of being besieged on all sides, but nothing is absolute. Putin's visit to China is undoubtedly a bright future for Russia.
Putin's visit to China brought an unprecedented luxurious "national team". According to Russian academic circles, almost all Russian powerful figures visited China with Putin, not only to give China a strong momentum to the military parade, but also to seek means to solve Russia's current predicament.
The Russian delegation will stay in China for four days. Besides attending the Chinese military parade, it will also attend the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Tianjin, which is undoubtedly a very suitable opportunity for Putin.
The summit will be attended by India’s Prime Minister Modi, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and others, which will provide Putin with an opportunity to meet with these important Russian customers.
After all, such an inconvenient meeting with Modi with Russian oil customers, usually in order to prevent touching the sensitive nerves of the United States, there is almost no chance, and the summit provides a suitable and reasonable opportunity for Putin to connect with people and discuss future development.
At the same time, the leaders of more than 20 countries that will attend the SCO summit, except for China and India and other countries that have already purchased Russian oil, the remaining countries in the current situation of sharp international oil price fluctuations, with the price of Russian oil can not try to open a new market, this is Russia's future "financial god", for Putin, it is also an opportunity.
In addition, as the host of this time, China, Putin's main country to visit, is the best way out in Putin's ideal.
As the world's largest energy consumer, China can not only bring a large number of energy orders to Russia. At the same time, China's huge market is also the best choice for Russia's trade.
Therefore, Putin’s choice to stay in China for four days is not only to declare the world that China-Russia bilateral relations are indestructible, but it is also Russia’s most promising way to live, and the only way out.
It can be seen that Putin's visit to China is the best response to Trump's warning, and it is also to declare to the Western countries that Putin still has a card, and your idea of coercing Russia to bow is doomed to fail.
So at this time, although it seems that Russia is unable to raise the head of the repression of the American West's hybrid strike, but in fact, in the face of Trump's appointment, Putin has left behind, Russia has not yet reached the final, Trump's big words are too early.
