"Xi and Putin's Joint Meeting: Goals and Objectives"

Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to visit Moscow next week to hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Putin wants China to provide military assistance in the fight against Ukraine, while Xi wants to grow his reputation as a peacemaker and counter the West's unfair meddling in their affairs. The two leaders are expected to recommit to their partnership and challenge the US and its allies. The meeting comes hours after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin over allegations of war crimes related to unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine to Russia.
