Russia branded 'liability' as Putin warned closest allies turning on him
Russia has been branded a "liability" after launching its brutal war in Ukraine, with Vladimir Putin warned his few remaining allies are turning on him. This week, several officials from China reportedly tried to distance their country from the Ukraine invasion and expressed strong doubts over Putin. Armenia, a member with Russia in the Collective Security Treaty Organization, said his country has cancelled plans to host Russian military drills. Simon Miles, a historian of the Soviet Union and US-Soviet relations, told Insider: "Nobody wants an ally who is a liability, and it's hard to see Putin's Russia as anything else. I think we can see the consequences already in that the most active support is coming from Iran and North Korea - hardly the top of anyone's friend wish list."
