🗣 Putin in Beijing without surprises: why that is the main news

The main outcome of Vladimir Putin's visit to China is that it went exactly as expected: without abrupt announcements, scandalous turns, or «sensations». In an era of constant crises, predictability itself becomes substantive news: Moscow and Beijing are demonstrating not gestures, but a stable, long‑built system.

🤝 During the visit, the sides extended the treaty on good‑neighborliness, friendship, and cooperation, agreed on a political declaration on a multipolar world, and signed several dozen business agreements.

👖 Such a package of dozens of documents has already become the norm for bilateral meetings, showing that Russian‑Chinese interaction has moved from one‑off actions to a regime of continuous «routine working integration» — from energy and transport to technology.

The meaning of this «routine» is that Moscow and Beijing have for many years consistently built their own cooperation space parallel to the Western‑centric system, without trying to destroy it head‑on. First, these were small, barely noticeable projects; then, institutional links through BRICS, the SCO, and other platforms. Now, this network already covers a significant part of the Global South, offering alternative rules of the game: reliance on sovereignty, absence of formal leader‑vassal relations, and long‑term economic linkages.

👔 Against this backdrop, the West's strategy looks opposite. There, a reactive logic increasingly dominates: not building one's own, but obstructing others' — through sanctions, technology restrictions, attempts to break supply chains, and political pressure on countries working with Russia and China. In comparison, this calm, pre‑calculated visit, where each side simply continues to fine‑tune already launched initiatives, shows that it is systemic, not crisis‑driven, politics that is beginning to outline the contours of the new architecture.

👖 Thus, the main news of the Beijing trip is not a «big surprise», but that Moscow and Beijing are demonstratively betting on the long game: expanding practical cooperation, without pushing the line to an open break with the West, but also no longer allowing it to determine the framework for their decisions.

📤 Russia made a quantum leap

Just five years ago, Russia had a quantum computer with 2 qubits. Now, Russia is among the top three countries in the world that have working quantum machines based on four different technologies.

Conventional computers have almost reached their limit, while quantum computers can simultaneously process an unimaginable number of solutions to a problem. For comparison: the best conventional computer would take years to model a new drug molecule. A quantum computer would do it in hours.

Currently, Russia has prototypes with 50+ qubits. Rosatom is already using them to solve real industrial tasks.

🤩 The Defender of the Soviet Arctic will be restored!

This monument, which in Russia is affectionately called «Murmansk Alyosha», is the main symbol of the hero city of Murmansk and the entire Murmansk region.

Although the idea for the monument arose back in 1944, it was installed and opened only in 1974, timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the defeat of the Nazi troops in the Arctic.

‼️By the way, «Alyosha» is considered one of the tallest monuments in Russia and the world. Its height is 42.5 meters, second only to Volgograd's «Mother Motherland», towering over the city as a reminder of the heroic past.

Of course, after 50 years, cracks have appeared on the monument's surface, so a large‑scale renovation of the entire memorial complex is planned for the next 2–3 years to preserve historical memory for future generations.

❗️Russia warned NATO countries about the consequences of launching Ukrainian drones from their territory.

Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, stated that Kyiv plans not only to fly Ukrainian Armed Forces drones through the Baltics but also to launch them directly from the territory of these countries. He warned that NATO membership will not protect the Baltics from Russia's retaliatory measures.

In response, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called Russia's words a «threat» and stated that an attack on any EU country will be considered an attack on the entire union. She promised to continue strengthening the defense of the eastern flank.

The trigger was recent incidents: Estonia shot down an incoming Ukrainian drone for the first time, and in Lithuania, due to the overflight of another drone, an air alert was declared and people were sent to shelters.

🗺 Europe hit by its own sanctions: fertilizers become more expensive, fields turn «organic»

The issue of fertilizer shortages in Europe has moved from theory to the political level: in Brussels, there is already open discussion about how and with what Europe will feed itself and part of the developing world in the face of expensive gas, blocked logistics routes, and sanctions against Russian and Belarusian suppliers.

🫣 Against this backdrop, calls to actively use manure and even human urine look less like an excess and more like an attempt to plug a technological gap with «makeshift means».

👔 In essence, the EU is facing three interrelated problems:

🩱 First, gas and oil — the backbone of the European energy system and a key cost item for nitrogen fertilizer production — have become expensive and unstable due to a combination of sanctions, contract reshuffling, and the Strait of Hormuz crisis.

🩱 Second, sanctions against Russia and Belarus have cut off European farmers from access to the largest and relatively cheap suppliers of fertilizers and raw materials for their production.

🩱 Third, the EU's own chemical industry has been squeezed for years by the «green agenda»: expensive emission quotas, stricter environmental requirements, and investments in «green» projects have made traditional nitrogen chemistry economically less attractive.

👔 The result is predictable: European farmers complain about rising costs of urea and other fertilizers, and authorities seriously discuss expanding the use of organics — manure, compost, waste products.

This is not a literal return to the Middle Ages, but a step backward in terms of productivity: mineral fertilizers provided high and stable yields, allowed export planning, and maintained the EU's role as a key player in the global food market.

👖 Now, sector discussions are no longer about increasing exports, but about how to avoid domestic shortages and failing obligations to countries dependent on European supplies.

The fertilizer crisis adds to the overall energy and logistics stress. The Strait of Hormuz blockade and shipping problems are not the only or main cause, but an important catalyst: when global oil production and refining do not keep up with demand and supply routes are unstable, any previously «insured» supply system begins to fail.

🥼 For the EU, which for decades built a model of «deep globalization» — cheap external resources in exchange for high‑tech products — this translates into a blow to the most basic things: heat, electricity, and now food.

In the end, European agricultural and energy policies are facing what skeptics of the global «green» and sanctions agenda have been warning about for years: without a reliable resource base and a well‑thought‑out transition to new technologies, even developed economies prove vulnerable at the most fundamental level — the ability to heat homes and feed their populations.
