On October 17, 2023, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing was bustling, and Russia**Putin, dressed in a suit, stood in the hall**, smiling and looking firm.
According to Russia Today TV, Putin met with the leaders of 10 countries that day. It was the first time in recent years that he had made such frequent diplomatic contacts.
However, even Russia admits that Putin has won a diplomatic reversal for himself this time with the help of China's diplomatic platform.

Let's take a look.
Russia's "diplomatic dilemma".
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Boris Yeltsin, the founding father of Russia, tried to make overtures to Western countries. However, these practices of Russian politicians are just a ridiculous show in the eyes of Western countries.
After Putin took over the Russian regime, the Russia he led also wanted to negotiate with Western countries. However, these efforts have ended in failure.
In desperation, Putin could only turn his gaze to the east. Although there was some détente between Russia and the United States during the administration of the former Obama administration. However, Putin is well aware that these opportunities are just traps for the Russian people.
