He orchestrated an aid convoy into the region that, according to NATO, was mere cover for a Russian invasion force.

But, beneath the surface, unease in the bilateral relationship persists, partly for historical reasons. Nationalist Chinese remember imperial Russia s conquests, while many Russians have a morbid fear of the yellow peril, even though the Mongols conquered and reigned in China, while they were eventually repelled from Russia (not to mention that the Chinese never invaded Russia).

Russia encouraged and supported separatist movements in both entities, then used the separatist tensions to justify sending ampquot Russian peacekeepersampquot into the regions.
