For Russia, support from the Chinese side is crucial as the crisis in Ukraine intensifies. While Moscow has repeatedly claimed that it has no plans to invade Ukraine and criticized the United States for fanning the fire, it does need to be prepared for how to deal with economic sanctions by the United States and the West in the event of war.

Russia expects someone to help it through the storm, and looking around the world, only China has the ability to do so. Russia has enough military strength that it does not need to rely on the Chinese side in this regard, it is counting on the economic support of the Chinese side. As long as this happens, Russia will have the confidence to continue to fight with the United States to force the United States and NATO to make concessions.
