Putin, Xi reaffirm Russia-China ties amid ‘unpredictable’ world
Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping reaffirmed their strategic partnership on the sidelines of the SCO summit in Bishkek (Al Jazeera). Beijing describes the relationship as increasingly solid and links it to a more multipolar world order. For Ukraine, this means Russia remains closely connected to China despite Western sanctions, while India's parallel call for an end to the war underscores the independent role of major Global South powers.
