At a moment Vladimir Putin is demanding an urgent meeting with NATO in order to discuss Russia’s security concerns over the Western military alliance’s expanding presence, and as rhetoric is still escalating over Ukraine, the Kremlin has announced that Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping will hold a video conference on Wednesday to discuss “aggressive” language from the US and NATO.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described that “The situation in international affairs, especially on the European continent, is very, very tense right now and requires discussion between allies.”
He underscored that “We see very, very aggressive rhetoric on the NATO and US side, and this requires discussion between us and the Chinese.” And Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin agreed in a separate statement, saying that Putin and Xi will discuss “views on major international and regional issues of common concern.”
