In the Kremlin named the main 'enemy': it turned out to be neither the West nor Zelensky.

Geopolitical relations between Russia and China

Russian leader Vladimir Putin publicly supports close relations with China, but at the same time, reports of espionage and threats to Russian security are gradually coming from there. The FSB, the intelligence agency, sees China as a potential enemy seeking access to important technologies and information.

According to The New York Times, the Chinese are actively interested in Russia's military operations in Ukraine, directing efforts to recruit Russian citizens and engage in joint research. An FSB document reveals that Russians themselves see China as a threat to their security, while Moscow continues to rely on Chinese supplies of oil and computer components.

Vladimir Putin maintains relations with China, but at the same time, dissatisfaction among Russian citizens and the FSB regarding Chinese espionage activities is steadily growing. The conflict of interest and suspicions about threats to national security between Russia and China are coming to the forefront, pushing the authorities of both countries to seek mechanisms for resolving the situation.
