Putin admits China has ‘concerns’ over Ukraine invasion in sign of friction
The Metro says Vladimir Putin has admitted that Chinese President Xi Jinping has ‘questions and concerns’ over his invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian president’s surprise acknowledgement of friction with Beijing comes after a string of humiliating defeats which has seen Kyiv claw back huge swathes of territory.
Putin and Xi last met during the Winter Olympics, when they agreed to a ‘friendship without limits’.
Just three weeks later the Kremlin sent troops into Ukraine on what it still calls a ‘special military operation’.
