Putin praises China's involvement in Ukraine crisis ahead of Xi Jinping visit.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has arrived in Moscow for his first state visit to Russia in four years, just days after the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for the arrest of Russian President Vladimir Putin over war crimes in Ukraine. Russia's investigative committee has launched a criminal investigation into the ICC prosecutor and judges who issued the arrest warrant. The visit will be closely watched as China has unveiled a 12-point peace plan to end the Ukraine war, and Russia hopes China will play a constructive role in resolving the crisis.
