The Burmese army has been losing and retreating, and at the critical moment, the Russian special plane flew directly to Myanmar, and China's position is very resolute
In the conflict in Myanmar, the Burmese army faces enormous military challenges, and a "three-family brotherly alliance" consisting of the Shan State Deang National Liberation Army, the National Democratic Alliance Army and the Arakan Army has continuously launched fierce attacks on the Myanmar military, making it the largest civil war in recent years. The Burmese military has been losing ground in the fierce battle, and it is widely believed that this could signal the risk of collapse of the Burmese army.
At this critical juncture, a Russian special plane flew directly to Myanmar, which attracted the attention of the outside world. It is reported that Nikolai Patrushev, secretary of the Russian Security Council, arrived in Myanmar on December 5, a move that has attracted widespread attention. Patrushev will hold bilateral consultations on security issues in Myanmar, which was confirmed by the press service of the Security Council of the Russian Federation. This action sends an unusual signal and further raises international concern about the crisis in Myanmar.
It is worth noting that with the joint "encirclement and suppression" of the civilian forces, the Myanmar military has lost a number of important military bases, and internal problems have surfaced. In this context, the visit of the Russian special plane is regarded as a statement of support and concern, and it also provides some external support for the Myanmar military. However, this move has attracted the attention of the international community, especially at a sensitive moment of the crisis in Myanmar, and all parties are on high alert.
In recent years, Russia has maintained a strong cooperative relationship with the Myanmar military. When the Myanmar Army** was criticized by the international community for the 2021 coup, Russia expressed its support for the Myanmar Army** through practical actions. Russia is not only a major country in Myanmar, but also has extensive cooperation with Myanmar in the fields of economy and technology.
In August 2022, Russian Governor Sergei Lavrov led a delegation to visit Naypyidaw, the capital of Myanmar, and publicly expressed Russia's support for all actions taken by the Myanmar army to "stabilize" Myanmar, which was thanked by the Myanmar side. This shows that Russia and Myanmar have always maintained strong and friendly relations.
Patrushev's direct flight to Myanmar at a critical moment has sparked speculation that Russia may provide support to the Burmese military, which faces serious military challenges. Although it is unlikely that Russia will send troops directly, it may help the Burmese army gain an advantage in the conflict and ultimately win by providing advanced ** and tactical guidance.
It is worth noting that before Patrushev's trip to Myanmar, Russia and Myanmar were already interacting in the military sphere. At the end of November, the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet sent two large warships to Myanmar for a joint naval exercise with Myanmar Xi the first time the two countries held such Xi.
During the exercise, the two sides conducted exercises Xi joint maneuvers and firing naval guns, and also simulated repelling high-speed speedboats attempting to carry out a terrorist attack on the ship formation. It can be seen from this that the imaginary enemy of the Xi exercise is not the armed forces with advanced ships. At a time when the Burmese army is retreating under the attack of local armed groups, it is clear that the Xi exercise is clearly targeted.
The interaction between Russia and Myanmar Xi the joint military exercises, followed by the dispatch of a direct flight to Myanmar, sends an unusual signal. With Russia's support, the strength of the Myanmar army could be significantly enhanced, and the situation within Myanmar could change as a result.
Russia has expressed its support for Myanmar through concrete actions, and the international community has begun to pay attention to China and wonder how China will react. As early as the end of November, Senior Colonel Wu Qian, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense, made it clear that China is highly concerned about the situation in northern Myanmar, actively promotes peace talks, and urges all parties in Myanmar to cease fire as soon as possible and resolve differences peacefully through dialogue and consultation.
Senior Colonel Wu Qian's statement follows China's consistent principle, that is, "non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries." China and Myanmar are close neighbors, and the stability of the situation in Myanmar will help China and Myanmar to carry out more cooperation and promote regional economic development. China will firmly uphold this position, actively promote peaceful dialogue, and play a positive role in mediating the situation in Myanmar.
