Xi Jinping, the Chinese president, has “questions and concerns” about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Vladimir Putin admitted as the two leaders met for the first time since the invasion.

......

Mr Putin, who is desperate for China’s backing amid staggering losses in Ukraine, said in opening remarks that Mr Xi was concerned about the invasion.

“We highly appreciate the balanced position of our Chinese friends in relation to the Ukrainian crisis,” Mr Putin told Mr Xi.

“We understand your questions and concerns on this matter,” he said, adding that he was hoping to explain his position to Mr Xi further.

......

Xi Jinping, in a statement afterwards, pledged "strong support" for Russia's "core interests" but made no reference to Ukraine.

......

He said both Mr Putin and himself advocated a "fairer and more equitable international order", in a veiled critique of Western hegemony.

......

China never publicly backed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, nor has it condemned it.

......

Beijing has since then criticised the West for imposing crippling financial sanctions on Russia.
