What is the significance of Putin's upcoming trip to Central Asia after his first visit after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict?

Returning to friendly countries, Russian Channel 1 and other Russian media reported that Putin will start his trip to Central Asia this week, first visiting Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, and attending the 6th Caspian Sea Leaders Summit. After returning to Moscow, he will receive visiting Indonesian President Joko. Matviyenko, chairman of the Russian Federation Council, was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying that Putin also planned to attend the regional forum of the Union countries in Grodno, Belarus, together with Belarusian President Lukashenko.

Putin's last foreign visit was before Russia launched a special war against Ukraine. At that time, he visited Beijing and attended the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. According to public opinion, the following considerations are the key to Putin's reopening his trip abroad 100 days after the Russian-Ukrainian war. With Russia taking the initiative in the eastern battlefield of Ukraine, Moscow has been able to free its hands to deepen Central Asian diplomacy, expand the diplomatic space of CIS countries and promote strategic partnership. Putin's visit is also regarded as a return visit to several friendly countries.

Establish a new foreign policy framework when the western "Lianbang Summit" criticizes Russia and may impose a lot of "punishment measures". Russia's promotion of partnership and expansion of cooperation platform on the basis of diplomacy are conducive to breaking the western attempt to isolate and weaken Russia and reducing its own pressure. Observers pointed out that many countries in Europe and Asia are neutral and cautious about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and have not been "deceived" by the United States and the West to join the anti-Russian forces. At the level of Belarus, it has expressed its concern about the resistance policy adhered to by the Lithuanian and Polish governments.

On the other hand, Indonesia, as the chairman of the G20, also believes that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine should be reduced according to the peace talks. Zoko was indifferent to the position of the United States and other countries to curb Russia's hosting of the G20 summit, and sent invitations to Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky. It is estimated that during his visit to Russia, Zoco will hold consultations with Putin on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, food export, G20 summit and other issues. The summit of Caspian Sea leaders that Putin will attend in Turkmenistan is also the starting point for expanding cooperation.

He told Alexander Lukashenka, another friendly dictator of Belarus, that Moscow would give Minsk a iskander-M mobile missile system with a range of 500 kilometers as a deadlock between Russia and Belarus. Western war in Ukraine updated. Russia, Belarus, Tajikistan, Asia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan are all members of CSTO.

When Kazakh President Kassym-Zomart Tokayev attended the Economic Forum in St. Petersburg, he refuted Moscow's statement about the invasion of Ukraine and refused to recognize separatists supported by "quasi-countries" such as eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia. He also said that Kazakhstan will not violate the international sanctions imposed on Russia for its actions in Ukraine.
