"Russian President Vladimir Putin's last visit to China will determine the future of the world". This is what the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said.
"These are important steps that will determine the future not only of our region, but also of the entire planet," said the diplomat, writes Tass.
Zakharova also stated that relations between Russia and China are seen by the world's majority countries as an alternative.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said earlier on Saturday that Putin's visit to China reaffirmed that comprehensive partnership relations between the countries surpass in quality the traditional alliances of the past era and continue to play a key role in maintaining international security and development. balanced world.
Putin himself says that Russia has never refused to have peace talks with Ukraine, but it was Kiev that broke off the negotiations and chose to fight, encouraged by its "Western backers".
"We have been deceived several times. Now we need to understand who and how to deal. President Xi Jinping told me about a truce during the Olympic games in France. We discussed this topic, we just mentioned it. Think about this: First , these Olympic principles, including the Olympic truce, are very accurate and constructive."
Vladimir Putin gave hope for a better international situation after promising that he has no intention of occupying Kharkiv. The goal according to Putin is to create a buffer zone to create a security line for Russian citizens.
"When it comes to what is happening around Kharkiv, this is also their fault." They have shelled and unfortunately continue to target residential neighborhoods in the border areas, including Belgorod. And I have said publicly that if it continues like this we will be forced to create a safe zone, a sanitary zone. This is what we are doing."
Thus, the President of Ukraine, Voldymyr Zelensky, expressed skepticism about the hypothesis of a temporary ceasefire in Ukraine, on the occasion of the Paris Olympic Games, stating that this type of initiative "does not work" with Russia.
Putin's remarks came after Ukraine hit Russian territory and the occupied Crimean peninsula with a large-scale drone strike, setting fire to an oil refinery and killing two people, according to Russian officials. Russia's Defense Ministry said air defenses shot down 51 Ukrainian drones over Crimea, 44 over the Krasnodar region and six over the Belgorod region.
