An analyst discusses how China's resources have become vital for Russia's military efforts against Ukraine amid increasing pressure from the U.S. on Russia's allies.
A new analysis reveals that Russia's ability to continue a large-scale war against Ukraine is significantly bolstered by substantial support from specific states, with China's resources being pivotal according to Western experts. Former head of the British intelligence agency MI6, Richard Moore, emphasized that during the conflict, Beijing has provided Moscow with unprecedented backing, which has been crucial for its military operations.
The U.S. administration is responding by intensifying pressure on Russia's allies, such as Iran and Venezuela, to limit the Kremlin's capacity to wage war against Ukraine. Reports indicate that strikes targeting logistics and resources of these allies are already affecting Moscow's operational capabilities, while the U.S. also offers a diplomatic route for negotiations.
In a related development, French President Emmanuel Macron has indicated a willingness to engage in dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin, aiming to restart conversations nearly four years after the beginning of Moscow's invasion of Ukraine. This reflects a broader international effort to find a resolution to the conflict, amidst ongoing military confrontations and geopolitical tensions in the region.
