Putin reported Xi Jinping that he was about to fight with Ukraine for five years - the media

According to journalists, the words of the Russian president about the "five -year war" are the key to understanding a number of events in relations between the Russian Federation and China. In March 2023, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin told the head of the Chinese People's Republic (China), Si Jinping, who intends to wage war with Ukraine for at least five years. About it writes Nikkei Asia with reference to its sources.

It is reported that in this way, the Russian president summed up the situation, which was not favorable to Russia at that time, and assured the Chinese leader that Moscow would eventually be the winner. The authors of the publication also believe that Putin's statement can be considered as a warning for SI so that he does not change his position on Russia.

In their view, the words of the President of the Russian Federation are the key to understanding a number of further events in Beijing and Moscow's relations. According to journalists, SI probably cannot fully trust Putin's words about the Five -Year War. In this regard, Beijing took measures aimed at protecting her own interests to weaken his dependence on the outcome of the war in Ukraine. Such measures include the "peace mission" of China in Europe.

According to the authors of the article, this step demonstrated a "subtle shift" in the position of SI against Moscow, and showed that China rejected Putin's statement about "five years". The publication emphasized that delaying the war for the mentioned term is not profitable China, since then Beijing will be stronger in Europe, and the Chinese economy will be harmed.

We will remind, on December 26, Xi Jinping during a speech on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the founder of the founder of the Chinese People's Republic of Mao Zeduna stated that China's reunification with Taiwan is inevitable through development. Earlier, on October 25, the media reported that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping were approaching the military alliance. Thus, Russia and China consider themselves as military partners, which will be the greatest threat to the United States.
