WAGNER’S FABLE AND FRIENDS
Geopolitics is a subject which is rather selfish in itself, there are no friends as well as enemies but for Russia, the bloc of its old partner ideologically except INDIA seems natural. For the West Russia seems to be feeble after the Wagner Dispute, even a few more countries wanted it to declare as a terrorist organisation. The withdrawal of them from Ukraine has blotted the image of Vladimir Putin in terms of its coalition but it has also sparked his image in terms of power and Nationalism.
In the flow of events North Korea has invited its friends hosting 70 years of the Korean War and Russia’s defense minister Sergei Shoigu was seen saluting the statues of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

Reports say the discussion between the ideological friend can be upon Korea’s Nuclear Tipped Missiles which was banned by the United Nations Security Council(UNSC) and also about the recent missile testing by North Korea.
The Kremlin reports that the President has been invited to visit China. He plans to travel in October when the One Belt One Road forum will take place. China’s new Foreign Minister Wang Yi announced that they are open to working with BRICS on this.
RUSSIA’S MARCHING WITH EVERY MEANS
Russia Lawmakers have suggested expanding the strength of the army in order to increase the potential, and if approved the age limit will be increased from 18 to 27 to 18 to 30.
Last Year Shoigu announced plans to expand the Russian army to 1.5 million when it was 1.15 million setting the age limit from 21 to 30.
The Biden Administration sent military aid worth $400 million which includes artillery, air defence systems, and a number of surveillance Hornet Drones. Officials said the US is also sending howitzer artillery, Hydra-70 rockets and 28 million rounds of small Ammunition.
For the aircraft, the situation is interesting in that both RLE and F-16 simulators in the world are far from being only in the USA, and Great Britain (which has no F-16s in service), and Denmark, and other countries wanted to train crests to fly, sending some kind of attire signal to Russia, but even after a year and a half of hostilities, not a single Western-made combat aircraft was transferred to Ukraine.
Amid the attacks, Zelensky has contacted the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to protect Ukraine’s cultural heritage which was damaged in the recent missile attacks conducted by Russia on the south Banks.
