Beijing supports Russia’s efforts to “protect the stability” of the country
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko was received on Sunday in Beijing by Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gan. “As a friendly neighbor and strategic partner, China supports Russia in its efforts to protect the country’s stability, development and prosperity,” the Chinese ministry said in a statement, stressing that what just happened in Russia is “an internal matter.” .
According to Blinken, the crisis in Russia reveals “real cracks” in the top of the state.
The Wagner Group “bluntly challenged Putin’s authority. So this raises real questions and reveals real cracks at the highest level of the Russian state,” the US Secretary of State said Sunday on CBS.
The situation “shows that there are divisions in the Russian camp,” Macron says.
The situation “shows the divisions that exist in the Russian camp, the fragility of both its armies and auxiliaries such as the Wagner group,” Emmanuel Macron told La Provence on Sunday, referring to “a situation (which) remains scalable.” “All this should force us to be very vigilant and fully justify the support that we provide to Ukrainians in their resistance,” the President of the Republic stressed.
No change on the eastern front
After a spectacular armed mutiny led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagnerites in Russia, the Kiev army says it sees no major changes on the front line around Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine.
The Donbas town of Bakhmut has been the epicenter of fierce fighting for months between Ukrainian forces and the Wagner paramilitary group, led by their violent leader Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Despite his capture in May by the businessman’s militants, who then returned control of the area to the regular Russian army, fighting with Kyiv troops continues.
