Chillin' over Tea: Putin and Xi's Talks on the Ukraine Crisis 🍵️️️️🗣️️
On May 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping went neck-deep into a heart-to-heart chat over resolving global hot spots, specifically the Russia-Ukraine debacle. China's Foreign Ministry shared the deets.
Xi Jinping pressed the point that China champions a durable global security concept. They believe the root cause of the conflict ought to be revised. China welcomes diplomatic attempts promoting peace, aiming to clinch a fair deal that'll bring a lasting resolution, suitable for all parties, via parlay. Bam! That's the lowdown, spoon-fed by the ministry.
Putin cheered China's take, declaring Russia's readiness to engage in peace talks sans preconditions and, naturally, eyeing a just peace deal. The Chinese ministry tossed that out too.
Xi Jinping touched down in Moscow recently for an official powwow to observe the 80th anniversary of the Great Patriotic War vict'ry. First, there was a one-on-one powwow, then things got crackin' in an expanded discuss.

Xi Jinping's last swing through the Russian capital happened in March 2023, and in 2024, he swung by again for the BRICS summit in Kazan.
