In an armored and symbolic Kremlin on the eve of the parade for the anniversary of the victory over Nazism, XI Jinping And Vladimir Putin They tighten the ranks once again. A solid understanding, defined as “not directed against anyone” but which in fact takes on, without too many turns of words, the politics of the United States. In the joint declaration signed by the two leaders we speak clearly: Moscow and Beijing mean “Countering resolutely” The double containment of the United States against Russia and China.
Russia and China “consider the establishment of military blocks with anti-Russian and Anti-Cinese orientation Equipped with a nuclear component, the deployment of nuclear weapons in the region under the auspices of ‘extensive deterrence’, as well as the deployment of elements of the global system of missile defense and medium and short ray missiles based on the ground that threaten strategic stability “, we still read in the widespread declaration after the meeting. The parties, continues the note,” have observed that some states of nuclear weapons are expanding Alliances and military coalitions in sensitive areas close to other states with nuclear weapons, in order to exercise the strength on them and commit other hostile actions that threaten the fundamental security interests of these states “. The parties resolutely condemn” the hegemonic desire of some western countries and their allies to create almost legal mechanisms to exercise pressure on the countries that pursue an independent foreign policy, falsify the historical truth to adapt it to one’s own opportunistic interests “.
The Chinese president Xi Jinping did not use minor terms: “In front of unilateralism and international hegemonic arrogance, China will work with Russia to take responsibility for the great powers”. A message that echoes up to Washington, while the commercial war between China and the US has entered an acute phase and the tension on duties It is added to the military one. The Russian president, for his part, underlined that dialogue with the United States will in no way affect the “strategic cooperation” with Beijing, called “equal and advantageous for both”.
The official visit ended with the signature of over twenty bilateral agreements and a new declaration of intent for strengthen the partnership. In the red square, meanwhile, the parade of pride is prepared, with 20 heads of state and government present and Chinese troops that will parade by side with the Russian ones. A strong signal, called “cynical” by the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, who also paid the three -day fire announced by Moscow as “pure manipulation”. But the fire, on both sides, never went out completely: Ukraine has accused Russian raids on Sumy and Kharkiv, Russia denounces two attempts to break the border in Kursk during the respite.
Meanwhile, Kiev continues to move on a diplomatic level. The Rada has ratified the agreement with the United States for the joint exploitation of Ukrainian mining resources. “A new chapter in relations with Washington”, commented Zelensky, while Donald Trump makes it known from overseas that he wants to speak “soon” with the Ukrainian president, announcing “progress” in peace negotiations. A negotiation that, at least for now, however seems all uphill.
But Moscow and Beijing look beyond. In the final declaration, the conflict in Ukraine is mentioned only in a marginal way, while concern is expressed for the American space shield project – a new iron dome announced by Trump – defined by both leaders “extremely destabilizing”. In the frost of war and global confrontation, the eastern axis appears more compact every day. And more and more determined to make themselves heard.
An alliance turned to contrast the “hegemonic arrogance”which puts an end to the rumors that spoke of one XI increasingly far from Putin and less and less willing to help Moscow. A signal that cannot be underestimated by the West.
