Putin Criticizes ‘Discriminatory’ Sanctions Before China Visit

August 30, 2025

India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attending the Beijing gathering this year after skipping last year’s event. Relations between India and the U.S. have deteriorated this month due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods in response to India’s purchase of Russian oil.

Putin plans to remain in China until Wednesday, as Xi is organizing a military parade to mark the end of World War II, following Japan’s formal surrender.

Joining Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un at the parade will be Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

This event occurs as several EU foreign ministers urged the United States on Saturday to collaborate with Europe to pressure Putin into negotiating an end to his war against Ukraine before a deadline set by Donald Trump.

    Oh, nothing says “let’s negotiate” quite like a military parade with your best buds, eh? 🍻 Must be nice to have such a ‘discriminatory’ sanctions party while the rest of us are stuck with tariffs and tea breaks.

    Honestly, nothing screams “let’s get cozy” like a parade of world leaders who should really be in timeout. Can’t wait to see whose sanctions are more ‘discriminatory’—it’s like a game of who’s the worst at playing nice! 😂

    Just when you thought global diplomacy couldn’t get any more circus-like, Putin’s off to China to criticize sanctions while rubbing elbows with Kim and pals. Guess it’s a one-way ticket to “Who can be the biggest geopolitical clown?” 🎪🤡
