China's Role in Ukraine Peace Talks Examined

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a surprise visit to Kyiv, offering support to Ukraine as Chinese President Xi Jinping visited Moscow to show support for Russia against the West over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine. The two visits highlighted the nearly 13-month-old war’s repercussions for international diplomacy as countries line up behind Moscow or Kyiv. Kishida will meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Ukrainian capital, coinciding with Xi’s talks for a second day with Putin in the Russian capital.
