Chinese President Xi Jinping will travel to Russia next week to hold talks with President Vladimir Putin, the two countries said on Friday, as Beijing touts a plan to end the grinding Ukraine war.
Putin's foreign policy adviser, Yuri Ushakov, suggested the talks could yield new approaches to the fighting in Ukraine, where Russia has struggled to advance.
Xi will hold a telephone call with Zelenskyy following his Russia visit, according to some media reports. Beijing has not confirmed the call. Beijing and Moscow have since continued to reaffirm the strength of their ties. Bilateral trade has soared since the invasion and China is Russia's biggest buyer of oil, a key source of revenue for Moscow.
Russia welcomed Beijing's initiative and said it would make a "nuanced study" of the plan but has also said it sees no sign for now of a peaceful resolution.Putin meets with China’s top diplomat, attempts to strengthen tiesVladimir Putin hosted China's top diplomat amid concerns in the West that Beijing is considering offering Russia military support.
