German Media: Beneficiary is Xi Jinping

Reported about 1 year ago

On July 6, 2024, Deutsche Welle reported an article from the Swiss newspaper 'Neue Zürcher Zeitung' titled 'Beneficiary is Xi Jinping,' discussing Russian President Putin's proposal to establish a new security structure in Eurasia and conditions for negotiations with Ukraine.
