“The relationship between Xi and Putin is more like an uncle-nephew relationship”: Pavel Klimkin on the “veiled humiliation” of the owner of the Kremlin

“Once upon a time, during the Horde, princes went for permission to rule, - writes Pavel Klimkin in social networks, commenting on the recent visit of the President of China to the capital of Russia. - Now the Chinese leader came to Moscow and said that Putin is supported in the presidential election.

I don’t know if this was agreed upon, but looks like a weakness. Actually, Putin has not yet been formally nominated. If this is a response to an arrest warrant, this is all the more weakness for Putin, because everyone there says that it seems to be “no problem.”

I don’t understand what Putin is for, it definitely doesn’t show him as an independent player and there is a clear desire to influence Russian domestic politics. Xi benefits from a weak Putin.

I don’t know if the procurement was agreed with Putin, but the relationship between Xi and Putin increasingly looks like a relationship not even of an older and younger brother, but rather of an uncle and a nephew. The “blessing” to go to the polls can also be a kind of Chinese kind of veiled humiliation of Putin, an attempt to show his place. In any case, the well-known jokes about the yuan as the main Russian currency no longer look like jokes at all.”
