A military movement that is regarding to take shape in the Eurasian region, and in which the two main economic and military powers in that area are involved, has the West on guard. The reason is that, in the midst of tensions in various parts of the globe, this gesture can be read as a provocation.
The two powers that are going to carry out joint military exercises are China and Russia, and according to the schedule reported by the Defense ministries, they are scheduled for the end of August.
What aroused the most concern in the United States and several of the allied countries, is that the armies of other countries, such as India and Belarus, are expected to be there.
What is known is that the joint military exercises will take place on Russian territory, which highlights the bloody invasion that Moscow has carried out for more than 165 days over Ukraine and which, of course, is rejected by most of the world’s democracies. .
In any case, the Beijing Ministry of Defense wanted to take care of itself and, through a statement, warned that the participation of its troops in military activity “is not related to the current international and regional situation.”
The entity indicated that these exercises are intended to deepen cooperation between countries, improve the level of strategic collaboration and strengthen the ability to respond to various security threats.
The military maneuvers promoted by Vladimir Putin in his territory were baptized as “Vostok 2022” (East 2022), and will take place between August 30 and September 5.
In the exercises, which will be carried out in thirteen polygons -as reported by Russia-, there will also be ground and air troops from Tajikistan and Mongolia, among other countries.
This announcement comes two days following the Chinese Army carried out military maneuvers around Taiwan, in actions taken following the visit to the island of the president of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, considered by Beijing as a “farce”. and “deplorable betrayal”, and that has raised tensions between those powers.
Washington analyzes all these steps to rule out a threat or even a possible confrontation.
