Xi Jinping Bolsters Russian Ally with WWII Anniversary Visit

Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked Chinese President Xi Jinping for attending World War Two anniversary celebrations, where they united against modern 'neo-Nazism.' Xi expressed solidarity against 'unilateralism,' aiming to bolster Russia amidst international isolation. Ukraine and allies criticized Russia's portrayal of the war as a struggle against Nazis.

On a significant day marking 80 years since the end of World War Two, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed gratitude to Chinese President Xi Jinping for attending the anniversary celebrations. Putin highlighted the unity of their nations against what he calls 'neo-Nazism,' a narrative Ukraine and its allies dismiss as false.

Xi Jinping used the platform to criticize 'unilateralism and bullying,' indirectly pointing fingers at the United States. He emphasized his commitment to promoting a revised view of history, supporting global multipolarity, and economic inclusivity, signaling a deepening strategic relationship between Russia and China.

As global attention focused on Moscow, Ukraine remained defiant. Despite a proposed ceasefire by Putin, tensions persisted, with Ukraine accusing Russia of imperial ambitions. Meanwhile, Western nations observed Xi's visit as a potential challenge to international unity against Russia's actions in Ukraine.
