Xi Jinping visits Russia to meet Vladimir Putin

Russia-China Summit comes as ICC accuses Putin of committing war crimes

President Xi Jinping traveled from China to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The dictators held a nearly five-hour long closed-door meeting.

In front of the cameras, they praised their friendship.

Currently, China and Russia share similar goals and stand in opposition against the United States and Western influences.

Putin signalled that Russia is ready to review China’s proposal for resolving the situation in Ukraine which has now entered into its second year.

However, critics are expressing skepticism about Beijing’s role as a peacemaker.

Western leaders who back Ukraine worry that instead of peace, China will soon provide lethal aid to Russia.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden has come under fire for not responding with tough talk.

The China-Russia Summit comes after an arrest warrant was issued for Putin from the ICC for war crime charges.

White House officials say they are working on arranging a call between Biden and Xi.
