Xi's enigmatic remark to Putin amid missile strikes on Ukraine.

Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin called each other "dear friends" during Xi's visit to Moscow. Xi presented Putin with a 12-point peace plan for Ukraine, but failed to mention key details like Ukraine's independence and Russia's occupation of its territory. As Xi left Moscow, Russia launched missile attacks on Ukraine, killing at least one person. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack and criticized China's impartial position. The West also criticized China and urged Beijing to get Russia to withdraw from Ukraine.
