RUSSIA’S Vladimir Putin has made a bizarre claim about the Ukraine war as he met with China’s Xi Jinping in Moscow today. The Chinese president arrived on Monday morning for a round of negotiations with Putin with the Russian leader desperate for aid in his bloodthirsty invasion of Ukraine. Speaking in an “informal” meeting, the Russian dictator bizarrely referred to the brutal war as an “acute crisis” as he told his Chinese counterpart that he welcomed the plan to settle the war in Ukraine. The Russian tyrant told Xi Jinping that he had looked at China’s proposals for a resolution of the Ukraine conflict and that he viewed them with respect. Putin also claimed to be “slightly envious” of China’s rapid development in recent decades, claiming: “China has created a very effective system for developing the economy and strengthening the state. It is much more effective than in many other countries.” Read our Ukraine war blog below for the latest news…
