Xi Jinping and Putin will emphasise ‘no limits’ relationship they signed just before Russia invaded Ukraine
Mr Jinping said China and Russia will continue to uphold a position of non-alliance, non-confrontation and no targeting of a third party in their foreign policy.
On the eve of the visit, Mr Putin said in an interview with Chinese media that the Kremlin is prepared to negotiate over the conflict in Ukraine. Along with Moscow’s efforts to build on its gains in the nearby Donetsk region, the two-year-old war has entered a critical stage for Ukraine’s depleted military that is awaiting new supplies of anti-aircraft missiles and artillery shells from the United States.“We are seeking a comprehensive, sustainable and just settlement of this conflict through peaceful means.
