Chinese leader Xi Jinping has arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov, the two leaders will meet at about 4:30 p.m. Moscow time on Monday for a one-on-one discussion followed by an “informal lunch.” Their official negotiations are slated for Tuesday at 3:00 p.m.
In addition to bilateral issues, Putin and Xi plan to discuss the “peace plan” for Ukraine that Beijing put forth in February.
The presidents’ meeting comes just three days after the International Criminal Court in The Hague issued an arrest warrant for Vladimir Putin for his alleged complicity in the illegal deportations of children from Ukraine’s occupied territories to Russia.
