cruise missiles. even though ukraine's air defenses are largely holding up falling debris from the intercepted rockets still calls as significant damage. as this woman and keith looks on in her children's bedroom glass everywhere, vladimir putin held talks with his chinese counterpart. the video coal happened to take place on the $100.00 the anniversary of the founding of the soviet union. its demise is something putin bitterly regrets. together he and shoot in ping want to stand up to pressure from the waist. and putin, at least once closer, military cooperation with beijing were a special place in russian chinese relations is occupied by military and technical cooperation. this contributes to the security of our countries. we aim to strengthen co operation between the armed forces of russia and china get in a difficult international situation. we are ready to build up strategic cooperation

with russia. provide each other with development opportunities and be a global partners for the benefit of our peoples. chinese official stance on putin's wall is being quite objective and fair. she told person that position isn't changing, and that the road to pace would not be smooth. putin cordially his dear friend when and invited him to moscow early next year, you was or very me, lena jacker over, runs a austrian institute for european and security policy. i asked her whether china shares rushes enthusiasm for closer ties. it seems so, though we don't know exactly the scope and scale of dar military technology cur corporation between these 2 states. a lot hasn't been revealed yet. so we have heard about the intentions about their plans, a lot of military exercises ah,

man has been conducted. and even during arrest us war against ukraine, a butter this sir domain is obviously the one that's going to be exploited and explored in the years to come. obviously, russia has become completely dependent on china, chill bypassed western sanctions. some even describe it as a vessel of china or a junior partner. but china also needs to support russia in this critical, critical phase alpha righteous war. because it has to avoid that a new, a security vacuum could emerge in the north of its borders next to the military tensions, wheat, india along the line of actual control as well as the military escalation, the straight to for a cow. and so it's not an altruistic relationship, it's a really based on reale politic national interests. and i anticipate that the

military corporation will a further deepen and increase it as was very interesting. so, so, china, embracing russia is less to do with china and russia being necessarily on the same economic got paid or the, or having the same world view. and more about if, if russia remains stable than at least that border is taking care of a we don't want anyone messing with that. it's more than that. it's of course also about backing each other in terms of potential risks at home, out. so meaning arising from internal instability, riots and political crisis, the stool leaders fear their own population the most. so of course, are having a predictable partner and is a, one of the major a common goals, but also creating a credible counter. let's say, credit, credible, come to way to the american global power projection in all relevant corners of the
