Chinese President Xi Jinping is currently visiting Moscow for a high-profile visit. Russian President Vladimir Putin was not present to greet Xi at the end of the red carpet, as is protocol. This is likely due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. During the visit, Putin has continued to stick to protocol, despite the situation in Ukraine. Live blogs have been created to cover the visit as it happens, under the shadow of the Ukraine war. The visit is of great significance, as it is the first between Putin and Xi in the last five years. The visit is expected to further strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
