On May 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing to officially begin his high-profile trip to China.
This visit plays a pivotal role in the relations between the two countries and also reflects the close cooperation and profound friendship between China and Russia.
According to the video materials released by the Chinese government, we can clearly see that next to President Putin, he is always followed by a burly bodyguard, who is as tall as 1.9 meters tall and is known as Putin's "royal bodyguard", and his presence provides a solid guarantee for President Putin's safety.
It is worth mentioning that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict in 2022, President Putin's international visits have become relatively rare.
Although he has repeatedly expressed his intention to visit Turkey, this plan has not yet materialized for various reasons.
This has undoubtedly increased the expectations of the Turkish side for Putin's visit.
However, it is clear that President Putin will not easily step out of the country without all preparation, which also shows that he attaches great importance to national security and his own security.
During this trip to China, President Putin's security work can be described as airtight.
In addition to the tight protection provided by China, President Putin has another layer of security.
This double guarantee ensured that his visit could go smoothly and demonstrated the deep mutual trust and friendship between China and Russia.
For President Putin, there are two areas of security that he needs to focus on after leaving Russia.
The first is his personal safety. During his more than two decades at the helm of Russia, President Putin has been the victim of several assassination attempts, which has raised his need for personal security to an all-time high.
Secondly, he also needs to pay close attention to Russia's national security. After all, as the ruler of a country, his first duty is to ensure the stability and security of the country.
Interestingly, just as President Putin left Russia, the Ukrainian side quickly put pressure on the United States in the hope that the White House would lift restrictions on the use of American weapons to attack Russia.
This restriction has been in place since the United States began military assistance to Ukraine, and is intended to avoid the United States getting involved in a wider conflict.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky clearly wants to try to take action against Russia in Putin's absence.
This attempt is reminiscent of a similar incident in history: former Georgian President Saakashvili took the opportunity to take action against Russia during Putin's participation in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, but in the end it did not achieve the desired results, but caused a lot of trouble for himself.
However, unlike Saakashvili, Zelensky has the full support of NATO. This makes it necessary for Putin to be doubly careful to guard against any possible threat.
In this case, Putin relies on China's strong security capabilities to ensure his personal security on the one hand.
China's strength in this area is unquestionable, after all, no country dares to cause trouble when China receives important state guests.
On the other hand, Putin has also taken another important step to deter the United States and Ukraine.
According to the latest information, on the eve of Putin's visit to China, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced a major decision: the "Bulava" ballistic missile has been officially installed on the "Boreas"-class nuclear submarine.
Since the development of this high-profile missile began in 1998, it has attracted attention for its ultra-long range and powerful strike capability.
Now, the official installation of the "Bulava" missile has undoubtedly added an important bargaining chip to the Russian army, so that the United States and Ukraine have to think twice before taking any action.
Under the deterrence of the "Bulava" missile, there are at least two things that the Biden administration must not do. First, they do not dare to take any direct action against Putin, whether in China or elsewhere.
After all, the range and power of the Bulava missile are enough to deter any potential attacker.
Secondly, they also do not dare to allow Ukraine to launch a large-scale attack on Russia using American weapons. Because doing so would not only provoke Russia, but could also provoke a much larger conflict and catastrophe.
Of course, the use of drones by the Ukrainian army for small-scale harassment in the border areas is not within the scope of concern of the United States. But such small-scale harassment operations clearly do not pose a substantial threat to Russia.
Therefore, under the deterrence of the "Bulava" missile, both the United States and Ukraine have to exercise restraint and caution.
To sum up, President Putin's trip to China can be described as foolproof.
Through carefully planned and arranged security measures and China's full support, he was able to successfully complete the visit and demonstrate Russia's firm position and strength.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with Putin's visit and show the image of the Russian army as a mighty division, the offensive of the Russian army in the Kharkiv direction has also been strengthened, which undoubtedly further demonstrates Russia's military strength and determination.
In the face of the fierce offensive of the Russian army, the Zelensky government has announced the cancellation of all international activities in order to fully respond to the tensions in the country.
In addition, there is information that 5 Ukrainian brigades are urgently transferred to Kyiv for defense in response to possible emergencies. This series of measures fully demonstrates the seriousness and urgency of the current situation in Ukraine.
For some time to come, the Ukrainian capital may face a tense situation in the defense of the war.
As peace-loving Chinese, we sincerely hope that this war will end at an early date so that the people on both sides can live a peaceful and peaceful life.
At the same time, we also hope that China and Russia will continue to maintain close cooperation and friendship and jointly contribute to world peace and stability. After all, in this changing world, peace and cooperation are the right direction for human development.
Only through dialogue and consultation to resolve disputes, strengthen international cooperation and exchanges, and promote the improvement of the global governance system can we effectively safeguard world peace and stability.
