The talks between Xi and Putin, explained by ClaireGilbodyD
Yet China’s proposal contains only general statements and no concrete detail on how to end the year-long war which has claimed tens of thousands of lives and forced millions to flee.
The meeting gives Mr Putin and Mr Xi a chance to show they have “powerful partners” at a time of strained relations with Washington, said Joseph Torigian, an expert in Chinese-Russian relations at American University in Washington. The US and Nato have recently accused China of considering supplying arms to Russia and warned it against doing so. China has dismissed the accusations.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he will only consider peace settlements after Russian troops leave Ukrainian territory.
