Sweden is set to join NATO, a blow to Putin who considers the military alliance a threat to Russia. Sweden's military is built for one thing: fighting Russia, expert Robert Clark wrote in The Telegraph. Robert Clark, the director of defense and security for UK think tank Civitas and a British veteran, said that Sweden's "military is built for one thing, and one thing only: fighting Russia." He outlined the ways that Sweden's military being part of NATO is likely bad news for Russia. And with Sweden in NATO, every country in the Arctic would be in the alliance apart from Russia, he added.

China's President Xi Jinping has made a power move timed with his visit to Russia. He set up a new meeting of Central Asian countries the week, muscling in on Russia's backyard. Xi invited the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to the first China-Central Asia summit Wednesday, the AFP news agency reported. Analysts say that China has secured significant leverage over Russia in return for its diplomatic and economic support, and that in calling the meeting of Central Asian nations it is seeking to exploit that advantage. China in recent years has increased its economic and security ties with Central Asian nations, which have abundant mineral resources and lie on ancient trade routes between east and west.
