Chinese President Xi Jinping’s recent visit to Moscow has placed the ongoing crisis in Ukraine at the center of international attention. The trip is the first time Xi has visited Russia since the country began its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in 2014, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing conflict that has killed tens of thousands and sparked a humanitarian crisis.

The International Criminal Court in the Hague has accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of committing war crimes in Ukraine, and issued an arrest warrant for him. Despite this, Xi’s visit signals a ringing endorsement of the Russian leader and has provoked criticism in some Western capitals.

The two leaders are expected to discuss Ukraine during the three-day visit, and the Kremlin has suggested that the Chinese leader will present a peace plan for the region. However, whether Xi will be able to deliver a concrete diplomatic breakthrough remains to be seen.

The Chinese president’s visit to Moscow is a stark reminder of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, which has left many innocent civilians suffering. It is hoped that the two leaders will be able to work together to reach a peaceful resolution to the conflict and bring about much-needed stability in the region.
