Published on the second day of Xi's state visit to Moscow, which has so far highlighted his close friendship with Putin, Xi's joint statement with the Russian leader shows Russia's majority adoption of nationalists from Beijing, Politico writes.
“Russia reiterates efforts to resume peace talks as soon as possible, which is assessed by the Chinese side”, said in the joint statement.
“Russia welcomes China's readiness to play a constructive role in resolving the crisis in Ukraine through political and diplomatic means”, it was said away.
Regarding the Kremlin line that charges “NATO and its” expansion as the cause of the Russia-Ukrainian conflict, the Russian and Chinese president, also had something to add.
The “two sides oppose any national country or bloc that risks the reasonable interests of the security of other nations in the search for military, political or other forms of superiority”, it was said further in their statement.
The statement on Ukraine was signed after Xi and Putin held talks on a wide range of issues in the Kremlin during this Tuesday.
