"Getting Bold": Putin started a new stage of war in Kiev in Kiev - The Times

To spread: after returning from the Shanhai cooperation organization (SCO) in Beijing, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin launched a new stage of the war against Ukraine and a blow to the administrative building of the Cabinet of Ministers - testimony to this. Putin's confidence could grow sharply after meeting with China's leader, Xi Jinping, writes The Times. "When returning from China, Putin, having gained courage, begins a new stage of the war in Ukraine," the material reads.

Journalists emphasized that the main government building of Kiev was attacked at the moment when the Russian leader completed the summit with Xi Jinping and Kim Jong -in. The Cabinet attack has become the first for more than three years of a full -scale war, although supporters of the "hard line" in Russia have long been urged to attack "decision -making centers" in Ukraine. The authors of the material also noted that Beijing became an important platform for Putin's diplomatic maneuvers.

In particular, for the first time since the Cold War, China, Russia, and North Korea leaders gathered together and watched the parade to the 80th anniversary of Victory in Japan in World War II. The article specifies that, unlike the DPRK, China did not send its soldiers to the war against Ukraine, but Beijing supported Moscow diplomatically and avoided Western sanctions.

In addition, last week in the Kremlin declared a preliminary agreement with the PRC on the construction of the gas pipeline "Siberia-2". All this could have led to Putin's self-confidence and began a new stage of the Russian-Ukrainian war. We will remind, on the night of September 7, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation hit the building of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "Iskander". Focus also wrote that Russia, China and India are trying to start a new world order at the SCS summit.
