China and Russia have conducted their largest military drills in 30 years, named 'Ocean 24', involving 90,000 troops, 400 naval vessels, and 120 aircraft across multiple seas, coinciding with U.S.-EU discussions on Indo-Pacific security and China's role in supporting Russia during the Ukraine conflict. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell has accused China of providing significant military support to Russia, asserting that these contributions are integral to sustaining the Russian war effort. While China denies involvement in the war, it has proposed a peace deal rejected by Ukraine, with President Zelensky criticizing it as lacking respect for Ukrainian sovereignty. Russian President Putin expressed willingness for peace talks mediated by China, Brazil, or India, although Zelensky remains skeptical of these nations' roles as mediators. The growing military collaboration between China and Russia, as highlighted by upcoming joint events, demonstrates their strategic partnership against Western influence. This escalation raises concerns about shifting global power dynamics and security threats in the region.
