Brief presentation
Putin in China.
We explore the potential for Putin to finalize the Power of Siberia-2 contract and consider alternative solutions being discussed. We also examine financial interactions between Chinese and Russian banks and their impact on bilateral relations. Additionally, we provide insights into Moscow’s perspective on Beijing’s peace efforts in the Ukraine conflict.
Arrests in the Ministry of Defence.
Do recent developments indicate an anti-corruption campaign, or are they a purge aimed at weakening former Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu? We analyze each case and uncover the nature of the current prosecutions.
Confiscation as a Geopolitical Tool.
Putin has introduced a new procedure to compensate for damages caused to Russia by the “unfriendly actions” of the United States. We explain how this mechanism is intended to work and discuss Moscow’s underlying tactics.
