Ukraine, Gaza Wars: Putin, Xi Call for Political Solution
By Alabidun Shuaib AbdulRahman
In a highly publicized joint media appearance, Russian President, Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader, Xi Jinping lauded the strength of their bilateral relationship, amidst the backdrop of ongoing global tensions.
The leaders addressed key international issues, including the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Gaza, promoting political solutions for both.
During the press conference as monitored by INCNews247, Putin reiterated the call for a political resolution to what he referred to as the ‘Ukraine crisis’ while Xi, on the other hand, advocated for a two-state solution in the ongoing war in Gaza.

This meeting marks their third in just over a year, signaling a robust partnership while Russia continues to combat over two years of economic sanctions imposed by the West in response to its military actions in Ukraine.
These sanctions have pushed Russia to further deepen its ties with China, who has been a crucial ally, albeit controversially accused by Western nations of providing non-lethal support that indirectly assists Russia’s military efforts.
Despite these geopolitical complexities, the war in Ukraine remains a peripheral subject in China, where state media narratives often justify Russia’s actions against NATO expansion.
However, this narrative faces challenges from individuals like Ukrainian Vita Golod, who is actively working to present an alternative perspective to the Chinese public via social media.
Remarkably, her efforts have yet to be censored, suggesting a nuanced position by the Chinese authorities.
Xi emphasized China’s consistent stance on Ukraine, rooted in the principles of the UN Charter, expressing a desire for the swift restoration of peace in Europe.
