MOSCOW, March 21 — Vladimir Putin and his “dear friend” Chinese leader Xi Jinping planned more talks today after a Kremlin dinner where the isolated Russian president showcased his most powerful ally in the face of Western opposition to the war in Ukraine.
In televised comments, Putin told Xi he viewed China’s proposals for resolution of the Ukraine conflict with respect. He confessed to being “slightly envious” of China’s “very effective system for developing the economy and strengthening the state”.Moscow has been publicly promoting plans for a visit by Xi for months.
China has released a proposal to solve the Ukraine crisis, largely dismissed in the West as a ploy to buy Putin time to regroup his forces and solidify his grip on occupied land. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that China arming Russia could lead to World War Three, but also that he believed Beijing was aware of this risk. He has called for Xi to speak to him.
The development followed the March 14 crash of a US military surveillance drone into the Black Sea after it was intercepted by Russian jets, in the first known direct military encounter between Russia and the United States since Russia invaded Ukraine.
