Russia has long maintained military cooperation with Myanmar, driven by the common interests of both sides. Russia sends Myanmar ** armament supplies, and Myanmar pays the corresponding costs. Both countries have reaped tangible benefits in such deals. Despite the sanctions and blockade that Russia faces from Western countries, Myanmar is a very valuable "customer" for it. In addition, Russia wants to break through the blockade of Eastern Europe by strengthening cooperation with Myanmar. In Eastern Europe, Russia has faced a long-standing blockade imposed by the United States and other Western countries, and its actions there have been greatly limited.
