Myanmar’s president heads to Moscow seeking Russian arms and oil

Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing is visiting Moscow to secure Russian arms and oil supplies. This move is significant as it marks a shift in Myanmar's foreign policy, seeking economic support from countries outside of the Western bloc. The country's military has been isolated by the West due to its human rights record, particularly the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim minority.
