In the just concluded Southeast Asian diplomatic season, Russian President Putin did not show up. For this reason, many western media are exaggerating - all kinds of signs point to one point, Russia may be afraid! French media quoted diplomats as saying that Putin did not dare to go to the G20 summit because he was widely condemned by the international community. CNN also said that the past week showed that Putin was increasingly isolated, "trapped in Moscow, and even unwilling to speak to leaders of other countries at important global meetings". Recently, Russia has retreated from the key city of Kherson in the south of Ukraine, and has repeatedly released the signal that it is willing to negotiate with Ukraine. Is Putin, who has always been known for his toughness, afraid of the western countries? Objectively speaking, it is undoubtedly a difficult time for Russia at present. However, accustomed to the bloody battles in the diplomatic arena, the 70 year old Putin obviously did not "trap" in the Kremlin as the western media wanted, but broke through the situation with three moves. First move: Actively talk about cooperation through diplomacy. Putin, who did not go to Southeast Asia these days, is also busy greeting his partners to talk about cooperation. On November 22, Putin held talks with visiting Cuban President Dias Carnell. The leaders of the two countries reiterated that they would continue to develop bilateral relations and cooperation. Before the talks, the two men also jointly unveiled the monument to former Cuban leader Fidel Castro in Moscow. Putin said that the Russian Cuban friendship left by Fidel Castro is the common wealth of the two countries. The two countries will further work together to consolidate the alliance and jointly defend freedom, equality and justice. Dias Carnell also responded, "Moscow can always trust Havana." On November 23, Putin went to Yerevan, Armenia, to participate in the OSCE Summit. Putin said at the summit that the military and technical cooperation among the CSTO member countries is expanding, and the military economic commissions of various countries are actively participating in this activity. He specifically mentioned the peacekeeping operation launched by the Collective Security Organization after the large-scale riots in Kazakhstan at the beginning of this year, and believed that the effective measures taken would help prevent Kazakhstan from being occupied by extremists, and such experience would be used to further strengthen the alliance. When the West is trying to isolate and contain Russia, the leaders of the member states of the CSTO meet again every six months, which is of special significance. From Putin's speech, Russia's strategic considerations are also clear. "The Russian Federation has many allies and like-minded people on all continents. These countries have not yielded to the so-called hegemons." As Putin said before, by pooling the "efforts and potential" of all parties, "we will be able to bring security and stability to our countries and the world as a whole". The second move: from encirclement on all sides to expansion of export to Russia and Ukraine, the situation is anxious. The western blockade is impacting the Russian economy. When Russia's grain and fertilizer products entered the global market, they encountered many obstacles. Putin is also trying to break out of the economic encirclement. According to the current news, after several rounds of negotiation and consultation with the United Nations, Ukraine and Türkiye, a breakthrough has been made. While the Black Sea Grain Initiative was successfully postponed for 120 days, hundreds of thousands of tons of Russian fertilizer trapped in Europe also had a way out. Russian Foreign Ministry said it would unseal
