Russian naval vessels arrived in Myanmar on October 20 to engage in joint maritime security exercises with the military junta at Thilawa port. This includes "harbor phase" drills and is part of ongoing military cooperation, as Russia and China support Myanmar's regime amid its struggle against armed opposition. A live-fire exercise is also scheduled in the north Andaman Sea from October 20-24. The U.S. has criticized any elections under the junta as illegitimate.
