Details: In a joint statement after the negotiations, the leaders of China and Russia noted that the conflict in Ukraine can be settled « only by eliminating its root causes. » This wording clearly repeats the key messages of Russian propaganda, which the Kremlin justifies the solution of a full -scale war – in particular, the « threat of NATO expansion », « discrimination against Russian -speaking », as well as the oppression of Russian language, culture and media in Ukraine.

Literally: « SI participation, as well as a joint statement that coordinates China’s position with the Russian vision of the conflict, provides Putin with important support against the US pressure from the US demanding that the war end. »

Details: Xi also stated that Russia and China should be « real steel friends, hardened in hundreds of trials. »

In addition, SI and Putin have promised to increase coordination in all areas, in particular in the military, and « decisively counteract Washington’s course for double restraint » China and Russia. Leaders also testified to personally control the key areas of cooperation and seek increase in trade and investment by 2030.

Xi and Putin met dozens of times and signed a « boundless partnership » in February 2022 – less than three weeks before Putin sent his troops to Ukraine. China is Russia’s largest trading partner and gave Moscow economic support that helped it cope with Western sanctions.
