The White House has urged Xi Jinping to pressure Vladimir Putin to end the war crimes in Ukraine when the pair meet again at the Kremlin.
“Any ceasefire that does not address the removal of Russian forces from Ukraine would effectively ratify Russia’s illegal conquests, enabling Russia to entrench its positions and then to restart the war at a more advantageous time for them,” he added.
The at times scathing policy position has urged Russia to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine and has attempted to push both parties to a ceasefire. Despite the position paper urging the end of the brutal war, Beijing has failed to condemn the illegal invasion one year on.
