On March 21, 2023, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin attended a reception at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. The two leaders emerged from two days of talks with warm words of friendship between China and Russia and joint criticism of the West. However, there was no sign of a diplomatic breakthrough over Ukraine. The United States has maintained that it does not see China as capable of being an impartial mediator.
In response to the talks, John Kirby, the White House national security spokesperson, stated that if China wants to play a constructive role in Ukraine, President Xi Jinping should urge Russia to end its invasion of Ukraine. Despite the lack of progress in diplomatic talks, both China and Russia have continued to strengthen their relationship.
