"China's relations with the Russian Federation are not stable": a specialist from China called the factors of defeat of Russia in Ukraine

Despite the statement of neutrality, Beijing silently supported Moscow's war from the outset, from the opposition of the West's sanctions and ending with the ban on Russia's criticism on Chinese social networks. Professor of Beijing University Fang Yzjun made a gloomy forecast for the war of Kremlin Volodymyr Putin's war in Ukraine, assuming that the attempts of the Russian Federation were doomed to failure. He expressed his opinion in the article in The Economist.

The expert presented four major factors that, in his opinion, "will make the final defeat of Russia inevitable. " "The level of resistance and national unity showed by Ukrainians that was still extraordinary" is the first of them. The next prerequisite Fen Juzun called the international support of Kiev. According to the academician, the help "remains wide", although he acknowledged that the Presidential Administration Vladimir Zelensky considers it insufficient.

The third factor is the "nature of modern war". According to Fenga, who described it as a combination of "industrial capacity and systems of command, control, communication and intelligence. " The Russian military machine is in a disadvantage, as the expert said, because the country has not fully recovered from the "dramatic de -industrialization", which arose under the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The fourth critical deficit of Russia is the lack of information among the highest levels in the Kremlin. Putin and his national security advisers do not have access to accurate intelligence, which limits their ability to correct mistakes. Fenng's assessment is a deviation from the Chinese government's message.

Despite the statement of neutrality, Beijing silently supported Moscow's war from the outset, from the opposition of the West's sanctions and ending with the ban on Russia's criticism on Chinese social networks. Feng also said that the "insightful observers" noticed the transition of Beijing's approach to Moscow from the "boundless partnership", which was proclaimed Putin and China President Xi Jinping immediately before the invasion, to China's standard position on non -joining.
