Xi Jinping becomes the first leader to meet international criminal Putin: what can we expect from this visit

Must read

In China, whose leader Xi Jinping arrived in Moscow on March 20, they reacted to the decision of the International Criminal Court in The Hague to issue an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin suspected of committing an international crime.

Such a statement by the Chinese Foreign Ministry was made public on Monday, March 20, writes The Economic Times. Beijing believes that the ISS should “take an objective and impartial position,” and suspicions of the deportation of Ukrainian children are not grounds for bringing the Russian dictator to justice, because he has “immunity from jurisdiction in accordance with international law.” By the way, Beijing has not acceded to the Rome Statute governing the activities of the ISS.

Against the backdrop of growing concern over possible Chinese arms supplies to Russia and the unveiling of a “peace plan” by Beijing to end the Russian-Ukrainian war, the negotiations between the presidents of China and Russia are riveted around the world. Negotiations between the Chinese leader and the Kremlin dictator will begin tomorrow, approximately at 15:30 Kyiv time.

The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) suggested that the meeting between the Chinese leader and terrorist head of state Putin could discuss sanctions evasion schemes and China’s participation in negotiations after the end of the war in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is closely following Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia and hopes that Beijing will use its influence to force the Kremlin to end the war. This was told by the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Oleg Nikolenko in a commentary to Ukrayinska Pravda.

“Ukraine is closely following the visit of the head of China to Russia. We expect Beijing to use its influence with Moscow to force it to end its war of aggression against Ukraine. As Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in a telephone conversation with his Chinese counterpart last week, restoring Ukraine’s territorial integrity should be at the center of all diplomatic efforts.”Nikolenko said.

The Foreign Ministry speaker also stressed that Ukraine is ready for a closer dialogue with China in order to restore peace.

Recall that after the decision of the ISS, the head of the Office of the President, Andrei Yermak, said that the owner of the Kremlin could be arrested on the territory of more than a hundred countries of the world.
