Recently, Russia's active performance in Putin has attracted much attention on both international and domestic battlefields. This not only increased his global rate, but also laid the foundation for Russia's development in many aspects. Two prominent events include his visit to the Middle Eastern countries of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as an annual four-hour press conference inside Russia.
Putin's visit to the countries of the Middle East became the focus of attention on the international stage. The courtesy of Saudi Arabia and the UAE to him shows the geopolitical importance of Russia in the region.
This diplomatic visit not only strengthened Russia's relations with Middle Eastern countries, but also won Putin a place in international affairs.
The annual press conference has become a platform for Putin to demonstrate his confidence and respond to doubts. During this four-hour period, Putin not only answered the reporters' pointed questions, but also responded to the doubts of the Russian people through the Internet. The move shows Putin's steady leadership style and openness to communicating with people at home.
Some believe that Putin and Russia may have come out of the most difficult period. However, this judgment requires in-depth analysis.
First of all, looking back over the past year, the situation in Russia has indeed changed significantly. Russia has gone through a difficult period in the Russia-Ukraine war, but at the moment the two sides are at a standoff, and Ukraine is supported by the West. In addition, the mutiny of the Wagner Group shook the rear of Russia, but these bad situations have gradually passed.
At present, the macro situation in Russia is relatively good. Economic growth, rising people's incomes, a stable ruble exchange rate, inflation is kept within a reasonable range, and the domestic unemployment rate is relatively low. These data show that the overall situation in Russia has changed positively compared to more than a year ago.
However, caution is needed about the outlook for the future. On the battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, although the current situation is relatively stable, continued Western assistance to Ukraine may change the tide of the war. Domestically, although the problem of survival has been solved, development has been somewhat limited.
A country needs to focus on both survival and development. At present, the problem of Russia's survival has been solved, but the space for development is limited. If a country fails to develop for a period of time, its survival will be challenged.
On the whole, Putin's current stable state with Russia has indeed strengthened compared with the past. But there are still uncertainties about the future, and the current situation in Russia can be described as a mixed blessing. While addressing the challenges ahead, Russia needs to think about how to achieve sustainable development to ensure the country's long-term prosperity.
