"There is no military union with China": Putin told about "transparent" relations with Beijing

As an argument, Putin said that Russia was involved in joint exercises of the Armed Forces with those countries with which it does not have a military union. Russia does not create a military union with China, but only develops with it "transparent" military and technical cooperation, said on March 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin in an interview with Pavel Zarubin. "We do not create any military union with China.

Yes, we have cooperation in the sphere of military and technical interaction, we do not hide, but transparent, there is nothing secret there," Putin said. According to him, Russia, for example, conducts military training not only with China but also with other countries, but that does not indicate that the Russian Federation has a military union with them.

In a conversation with a journalist, Putin cited the analogy of military cooperation with the Western countries and compared NATO with the Bloc of the Axis countries, created as a military union of Germany, Italy and Japan during World War II. "They create more and more unions. And this gives reasons to Western analysts and political scientists to say that the West builds new" axes ". In this context, Putin mentioned the new NATO strategic concept, which was agreed in 2022.

It is explicitly reported that NATO is going to develop relations with the countries of the Asia-Pacific. And these countries are listed: there is New Zealand, Australia, and South Korea. And they say they will create a global NATO. Well, what is it? ”Putin said. Recall President Vladimir Putin, on March 25, announced the placement of tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. According to him On March 26, the NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov said that Putin took Belarus in "nuclear hostages".
