Min Aung Hlaing seems to be quite happy in Russia. He was seen hugging Putin. It was like a son meeting his father. It is said that he told his people in Nay Pyi Taw that his Russian trip was a success. Many agreements were reached during the trip. One of them is to build a small nuclear power plant.
Min Aung Hlaing’s trip to Russia this time should be watched carefully. He did not go secretly like the previous times, but at Putin’s invitation. This means that Russia has officially recognized the Military Council. This will be a big breathing space for the Military Council and it will provide political and military assistance. The Military Council also currently has good relations with China. Having two powerful countries, China and Russia, on the side of the Military Council while the revolutionary forces are relying on themselves is not very good in the long run. It means that the revolution has more time.
