The two countries also have held <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/china-russia-iran-naval-drills-oman-gulf-9f515b3246e4cbe0d98a35e8399dc177\">joint military drills<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that over dinner on Monday, Putin and Xi will touch on issues related to Ukraine, adding that Russia\u2019s president will likely offer a \u201cdetailed explanation\u201d of Moscow\u2019s view on the current situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broader talks involving officials from both countries on a range of subjects are scheduled for Tuesday, according to Peskov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Putin, Xi\u2019s presence at the Kremlin is a prestige visit and a diplomatic triumph, allowing him to tell Western leaders allied with Ukraine that their efforts to isolate him have fallen short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an article published in the Chinese People\u2019s Daily newspaper, Putin described Xi\u2019s visit as a \u201clandmark event\u201d that \u201creaffirms the special nature of the Russia-China partnership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Putin also specifically mentioned that the meeting sent a message to Washington that the two countries aren\u2019t prepared to accept attempts to weaken them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe U.S. policy of simultaneously deterring Russia and China, as well as all those who do not bend to the American diktat, is getting ever fiercer and more aggressive,\u201d Putin wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Xi\u2019s trip came after the International Criminal Court in The Hague announced Friday it <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/us-russia-china-ukraine-icc-putin-57774b3a58d6ec1c75c921f71d9ebe90\">wants to put Putin on trial<\/a> for the abductions of thousands of children from Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China portrays Xi\u2019s visit as part of normal diplomatic exchanges and has offered little detail about what the trip aims to accomplish, though the nearly 13 months of war in Ukraine cast a long shadow on the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a daily briefing in Beijing on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Xi\u2019s trip was a \u201cjourney of friendship, cooperation and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the war, Wang said: \u201cChina will uphold its objective and fair position on the Ukrainian crisis and play a constructive role in promoting peace talks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beijing\u2019s leap into Ukraine issues follows its recent success in brokering talks between Iran and its chief Middle Eastern rival, Saudi Arabia, which agreed to restore their diplomatic ties after years of tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flushed with that success, Xi called for China to play a <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-china-xi-putin-ukraine-war-2f0d035942cfca14ae5a42d82f5e8627?utm_source=hubpage&#038;utm_medium=RelatedStories&#038;utm_campaign=position_03\">bigger role in managing global affairs.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPresident Xi will have an in-depth exchange of views with President Putin on bilateral relations and major international and regional issues of common concern,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that Xi aims to \u201cpromote strategic coordination and practical cooperation between the two countries and inject new impetus into the development of bilateral relations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China last month called for a cease-fire and peace talks between Kyiv and Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy cautiously welcomed Beijing\u2019s involvement, but the overture fizzled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kremlin has welcomed China\u2019s peace plan and said it would be discussed in talks between Putin and Xi that will begin over dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washington strongly rejected Beijing\u2019s call for a cease-fire as the effective ratification of the Kremlin\u2019s battlefield gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kyiv officials say they won\u2019t bend in their terms for a peace accord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe first and main point is the capitulation or withdrawal of the Russian occupation troops from the territory of Ukraine in accordance with the norms of international law and the UN Charter,\u201d Oleksiy Danilov, the secretary of Ukraine\u2019s National Security and Defense Council, tweeted on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means restoring \u201csovereignty, independence and territorial integrity,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kremlin doesn\u2019t recognize the authority of the the International Criminal Court and has rejected its move against Putin as \u201clegally null and void.\u201d China, the United States and Ukraine don\u2019t recognize the ICC, either, but the court\u2019s announcement tarnished Putin\u2019s international standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China\u2019s foreign ministry on Monday called on the ICC to \u201crespect the jurisdictional immunity\u201d of a head of state and \u201cavoid politicization and double standards.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia\u2019s Security Council, said Monday that the International Criminal Court\u2019s move to issue an arrest warrant for Putin will have \u201cmonstrous consequences\u201d for international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA gloomy sunset of the entire system of international relations is coming, trust is exhausted,\u201d Medvedev wrote on his messaging app channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He argued that in the past the ICC has destroyed its credibility by failing to prosecute the purported U.S. war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also cautioned that the court in The Hague could be a target for a Russian missile strike. Medvedev has in the past made bombastic statements and claims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China looks to Russia as a source of oil and gas for its economy and as a partner in
