And the Russians will see the Little Swans Dance on TV.

Analysts write that one of the main topics of the talks between Putin and Xi Jinping in Moscow was the issue of guarantees for the personal safety of the Russian president in the event of a loss of power, his possible asylum in China and non-extradition for the International Tribunal. As noted by the Russian oppositionist, political scientist and publicist Andrey Piontkovsky, he has no information that such topics were actually discussed, but if such a conversation took place, then this is a very positive sign.

“Personally, I predicted this a long time ago. But I think it will happen later. According to my calculations, at the first stage of the spring offensive. When the Russians lose Melitopol, then Xi Jinping’s ambulance airplane will fly in for him,” Andrey Piontkovsky predicted in an interview for the Fabryka Novyn YouTube channel.

Moreover, during the interview, the expert stressed that he considers such a scenario to be inevitable. After all, when Putin realizes that everything is lost, then, of course, he will look for an escape option.

“In the morning, “The Little Swans Dance” will appear on TV and they will say: “You know, unfortunately, Comrade Putin was removed due to serious mistakes in the Ukrainian issue, and besides, his health deteriorated. Comrade Xi Jinping sent an ambulance for him, and he left for long-term treatment in one of the Tibetan monasteries,” the political scientist predicted.

However, after that, Piontkovsky nevertheless pointed out that all this somehow does not quite coincide with Putin's actions today.

“Well, let's say they promised him an airplane, and the next day he starts playing with nuclear bombs again in his sandbox. In the end, Comrade Xi Jinping may take offense at such behavior,” the analyst said.
