It said the targets were US Air Force B52H strategic bombers. "On March 20, radar facilities of the air defence forces of the Western military district on duty over the Baltic Sea detected two air targets flying in the direction of the Russian Federation's state border," the Russian Defence Ministry said on the Telegram. Moscow claims an Su-35 fighter jet was scrambled over the Baltic Sea yesterday after two American strategic bombers flew in the direction of the Russian border, but that it returned to base after they moved away. The possibility of China supplying Russia with military support is also unclear, it said.
The ISW predicts Mr Xi is likely to offer a "more concrete proposal" on negotiating an end to the war in Ukraine but it's "unclear" what it will entail - or how the Kremlin will receive it. "Xi's rhetoric suggests that he is not inclined to fully give Russia the economic and political support that Russia needs to reverse setbacks in Ukraine," it added. The thinktank says Mr Xi's hesitance to explicitly Mr Putin as he rages against the West is a "notable departure" from Beijing's previously declared "no limits partnership" with Moscow. "Xi instead focused heavily on presenting China as a viable third-party mediator to the war in Ukraine", said the ISW - a less aggressive rhetoric than Mr Putin was likely looking for.
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) says while Mr Putin argued Russia and China are building towards a "multipolar world order" against domination by the West, the Chinese president's approach was less forceful - indicating that the order would not specifically against a confrontational West. Xi Jinping's vision for relations between Russia and China is likely more reserved than what Vladimir Putin seeks, a US-based thinktank has said.Īrticles published by the two leaders on Sunday ahead of their meeting in Moscow offered similar ideas about the strength of their ties, but differed when it came to the scale of future relations.
