Xi Jinping to visit Putin in Moscow amid tensions with Ukraine.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping will visit Russia next week to discuss "strategic cooperation" between the two countries, according to the Kremlin. This will be Xi's first visit to Moscow since Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine more than a year ago. The visit comes as China tries to present itself as a neutral peace broker on Ukraine, but the effort has been met with skepticism in Western capitals due to Beijing's growing partnership with Moscow.
