Xi in Moscow: China sees Russia's war on Ukraine 'as a proxy war between Russia and the West'

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday hailed the "special nature" of ties with Beijing following talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in the Kremlin. Both leaders stressed that "responsible dialogue" is the best way to steadily solve the Ukraine crisis. For more on the current state of Sino-Russian relations and their strategic visions, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Natasha Kuhrt, Senior Lecturer in International Peace and Security in the Department of War Studies at King's College in London. Dr. Kuhrt offers a reality check, pointing out that "this is really a relationship that's been developing for more than 20 years now based on the need to secure the joint border, and reaffirming their joint opposition to Western hegemonism, and so on. So I think we need to be careful not to get too excited." 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on Twitter: https://f24.my/TWen Discover the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen
