Putin visits Xi in China as leaders push for 'political solution' to Ukraine war
Russia's president Vladimir Putin has visited China in what is his first international visit since the start of his fifth presidential term.

Chinese President Xi Jinping welcomed his “old friend” Vladimir Putin to Beijing.

Putin said Russia and China wanted a political solution to the 'Ukraine crisis' while Xi called for a two-state solution to the war in Gaza.

The meeting - the third in just over a year - comes as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has raged on for more than two years.
