On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, emphasizing the success of their growing trade relations and the high level of cooperation between Russia and China.
Putin highlighted the progress in their economic ties and large-scale joint projects. This meeting comes amid ongoing challenges for Russia, including a prolonged Ukrainian incursion in the Kursk region and a significant wave of drone attacks on Moscow.
Although China positions itself as neutral in the Ukraine conflict, it has become a crucial partner for Russia, increasing its oil purchases and technology supplies to mitigate Western sanctions.
