Chinese leader Xi Jinping presented his peace plan to Putin on Tuesday. The Russian president describes it as a good starting point. But Putin has little faith that the West and Ukraine are ready and willing to embrace the Chinese peace plan. – The West will fight to the last Ukrainian, he says to the state-run Russian news agency Tass. Zelenskyj, for his part, said that they have offered China to become a partner “in the implementation of this recipe for peace”.

We invite dialogue, and we await a response, he said at a press conference on Tuesday. China’s president said through an interpreter that their peace plan is based on the principles of the UN Charter and that China is impartial in the war. Both Russia and China said they are very concerned about the growing ties between Nato and Southeast Asian countries. Xi Jinping is on a state visit to Moscow, and has had several talks with Putin. China will get help to replace Western companies that have left Russia, Putin said after talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Xi also said he wants to prioritize relations with Russia. – I propose to strengthen our coordination and our cooperation, President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday, calling Putin a dear friend. Gazprom, the state-owned Russian gas company, said on Tuesday that it has delivered a record amount of gas to China in pipes via Siberia. Misjustin believes the trade will reach 200 billion dollars this year. Last year, the sum ended at 185 billion dollars. The US is skeptical and believes that China has a tacit acceptance of Russia’s invasion. Because the two countries have increased their economic cooperation. The aim of the meeting is, among other things, to find other ways of paying, in our own currencies. So that they don’t have to be locked to dollars and euros, which today makes them vulnerable to sanctions. China’s President in meetings with Prime Minister Mikhail Misjustin.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg believes that the meeting in Moscow shows that China and Russia are getting closer and closer to each other. Skepticism in the West US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the visit shows that China is not trying to hold Putin responsible for the crimes in Ukraine. – Instead of condemning, they give Russia diplomatic support to continue these crimes, says Blinken. The Americans suspect that China is planning to supply Russia with weapons, but the Chinese have denied this. Ukraine, for its part, says it would like to have talks with China, but some such plans are not around the corner. Antony Blinken held a press conference yesterday. Photo: JIM WATSON / AFP China’s 12-point plan for peace in Ukraine is not very concrete, but Western diplomats are keeping a close eye on what might happen. The criticism is that the peace plan will only support Russia’s occupation and give Putin time to prepare for a Ukrainian counter-offensive. There is also a fear that China may follow in Russia’s footsteps and take control of self-governing Taiwan.
