The chairman of the State Administration Council who got back from China not long ago has made a plan to go to Russia, which might be because he didn't get as much as he wanted from China, made a comment military and political analysts.
Dr. Hla Kyaw Zaw, a China-Myanmar affairs commentator, said so to CNI News.
" It seems that he didn't get as much as he wanted from China because he wants to get back the territories captured by the northern allies. I think he can't get them back. The Haigen Discussion for ceasefire contained that northern allies must stop where they reached but not that they must give back the territories they have captured. He's not pleased with that, I think. So, it's likely that he'll go to Russia. And it seems that he want to show he has another country to depend on apart from China. It seems that he didn't get as much as he wanted from China. So, as soon as he got back from China, he conducted bombing more. Even though China told him repeatedly to discuss in a peaceful manner, he did so. He goes against China." she said.

The trip to Russia might be the points relating to encouragement of peacemaking, cooperation and supporting the election, and as Russia is an ally of Myanmar, Russia would help the cases that should be performed, considered political analysts.

The Senior General might go to Russia by reason of these strategies, pointed out military and political analysts.
