Putin's army was disappointed: China declared a catastrophe of Russian authority - WSJ

The army of the Russian Federation, in which the Kremlin has invested at least 20 trillion rubles in the last ten years, did not live up to Beijing's expectations. They believe that military image and trust in Russia have fallen. Over the past 15 months, China's military and civilian leaders have watched closely at the Blitzkrig Moscow expected in Ukraine into a protracted war in which the Russian Federation was a number of defeats.

Because of this, the authority of the Russian Federation in the eyes of China fell. About it writes the edition of The Wall Street Journal. China, who last fought in 1979, was previously fond of Russia because of its ability to be able to turn violence into political benefits. The army of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which has invested in the Russian Federation for the last ten years at least 20 trillions of rubles, did not live up to Beijing's expectations.

This was said by a high-ranking colonel of the People's Liberation Army of China Zhou Bo. "Russia's military image and authority have collapsed," he said. According to Zhou, the plans of the Russian Federation in the war against Ukraine do not coincide with reality, and Putin has got into a difficult situation and will somehow explain to the Russians the crazy losses in Ukraine. "It turned into a war that they did not expect. President Putin cannot afford to lose the war.

Otherwise, he would explain why all these people were killed. He needs to justify it with something," he said. Zhou also expressed doubts that the event would continue to support Ukraine with weapons if the war is delayed. The Wall Street Journal emphasizes that military China is watching the situation in Ukraine, as their leader has ambitions on Taiwan's annexation.

Putin's mistake of the source of the publication is believed that he went on the offensive on Ukraine with minor forces, because he was counting on the rapid surrender of Kiev, but instead received a tough repel. Officials are convinced that China has taken into account this mistake and in the event of an attack on Taiwan will go more.
