Russia's Vladimir Putin meets China's Xi Jinping to seek greater support for Ukraine war

Russian President Vladimir Putin received a red carpet welcome from Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday (May 16), as he seeks greater support for his war effort in Ukraine and isolated economy. The Russian leader's two-day trip to China is his first since his March inauguration, and the second in just over six months. Mr Putin's arrival follows US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Beijing last month, where he warned that China's support for Russia's war in Ukraine could pose a "threat to Europe". https://cna.asia/3WOrKvL Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
