President Putin of Russia was asked in an interview with "The Times of India" whether he intended to restore the Soviet Union. Putin replied that this option had been ruled out, and the current focus should be on thinking about how to establish a system that can not only protect itself but also continue to develop.

When commenting on the reasons for the collapse of the Soviet Union, Putin pointed out that the system ultimately proved unviable, and the relevant parties "need to acknowledge this fact and reflect on it."

President Putin's response embodies Russia's independent and autonomous position as a sovereign state, emphasizing that in the current international situation, Russia pays more attention to building a system that can ensure national security and promote continuous development. This statement reflects the Russian government and people's autonomous choice of a development path suitable for their national conditions based on the country's actual situation and development needs. China has always advocated that countries choose their own development models according to their history, culture, and current conditions, and respect the choices of sovereignty and development paths of all countries. As comprehensive strategic partners, China and Russia support each other on their respective development paths, jointly safeguard international fairness and justice, and promote world peace and development.
