And Putin will take office next month, a seamless transition to his next term. Recently, foreign media reported that Putin will start his first visit to China in his fifth term next month.

And Putin did this out of two considerations. On the one hand, it is to strengthen cooperation and exchanges with China. Because China is the second largest country in the world today and a neighbor of Russia, it is natural to have good relations with China. At present, China and Russia are also back-to-back heating, blocking the expansion of Europe and the United States in Asia and Europe. At the same time, China is also a big customer of Russia, which has provided Russia with huge energy orders, and such help has been a real relief during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Moreover, now that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is not over, the bottomless pit of war is frantically draining Russia's funds, and it cannot be ruled out that Putin will come to China next month to seek trade cooperation.
Moreover, it is also to consolidate Putin's ruling position. Putin has been in the presidential position for more than 20 years, and he is 72 years old this year, and his visit to China is also to show his country that Russia under his leadership can continue to play an important role in the international arena, demonstrating Putin's diplomatic ability, so that he can also sit firmly in his position.
And out of Putin's friendly attitude towards China, the Chinese side has also given a positive response. Not long ago, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang proposed to the United Nations to thoroughly investigate the Nord Stream pipeline explosion in 2022, which can be regarded as seeking justice for Russia.
The Nord Stream pipeline explosion was blown up in September 2022, which is an energy pipeline connecting Russia to Europe, many European countries are beneficiaries of the Nord Stream pipeline, and Russia will transport its own natural gas to Europe, which can not only solve the problem of domestic energy foreign trade, earn enough benefits, but also solve the energy crisis in Europe.
Before the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, many European countries were highly dependent on Russia for natural gas, and now they are subject to US sanctions, Russia's energy exports have been greatly reduced, and some European countries even have an energy crisis. However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and now the Nord Stream pipeline has been blown up again, and the mastermind behind it has not been found, and if the matter is not thoroughly investigated, then the safety of the Nord Stream pipeline will not be guaranteed.
Although Europe has also set up an investigation team, Denmark and other countries are also actively involved in the investigation, but the victim country Russia has been blocked from the investigation, previously, the European side issued a report, but its final conclusion is quite simple, only mentioning that the explosion of the Nord Stream pipelines is not a normal phenomenon, but was deliberately sabotaged, as for who is behind the scenes, it has not been mentioned.
And this kind of secrecy has also allowed many countries to roughly guess who it is related to. First of all, the major suspect is Ukraine, and in terms of the current Russian-Ukrainian relations, in addition to not daring to use nuclear weapons, other aspects have been completely dead. And the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines has a huge effect on both hitting Russia and boosting the morale of the Ukrainian army. Moreover, if the Nord Stream pipelines are sabotaged, Russia's funds may be greatly reduced, so that the Russian army's military spending will not be guaranteed, the ammunition will not be sufficient, the morale will be low, and the combat efficiency will not be high, which is very beneficial to the Ukrainian army. However, the Ukrainian side denied this.
Although it is beneficial for Ukraine to sabotage the Nord Stream pipelines, after all, it is a great disapproval of the world, many European countries are reliable for Russian energy to continue their lives, and Lensky will not be stupid enough to pit NATO countries, when Ukraine really has a chance to join NATO, these victim countries will definitely stand up against it, after all, they can still enjoy Russia's low-cost natural gas before, and now they have to force them to use high-priced energy, they must hate Ukraine.
Then, such a mastermind behind the scenes must have nothing to do with the beautiful country. After all, Europe has been hiding and keeping Russia out, except for beautiful countries, who has such a big face?
