Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said he understood that Xi Jinping had questions and concerns about the situation in Ukraine but praised China's leader for what he said was a "balanced" position on the conflict.

At their first face-to-face meeting since the war, Xi said he was very happy to meet "my old friend" again after Putin said attempts by the United States to create a unipolar world would fail.
"We highly value the balanced position of our Chinese friends when it comes to the Ukraine crisis," Putin told Xi, whom he addressed as "Dear Comrade Xi Jinping, dear friend".
"We understand your questions and concern about this. During today's meeting, we will of course explain our position, we will explain in detail our position on this issue, although we have talked about this before."
Putin's first remarks about Chinese concern over the war come just days after a lightning rout of his forces in north-eastern Ukraine. read more

A Chinese readout of the meeting also did not mention Ukraine.

Are they sitting around a coffin?
Looks like an oversized coffin.
To have to acknowledge that publicly seems very unusual.
I guess China is his master now.

Xi’s first question, “Where would you say is the most vulnerable part of Russia that would be easiest to attack?”
I viewed an interview with a Chinese diplomat, very studied in his remarks, but his face started to show a bit of joy when he stated that Russian and China were “equals”.
Putin stronk as bull.
First Xi question to Putin, What the hell happened to your military?
LOL
