The Russian leader made the statement to Chinese media on the eve of his state visit to Beijing.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his regime is prepared to negotiate over the conflict in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has suggested that Russia would be open to negotiations with Ukraine “We have never refused to negotiate,” Mr Putin was quoted as saying by Xinhua. “We are seeking a comprehensive, sustainable and just settlement of this conflict through peaceful means. Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a two-day state visit to China this week, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Tuesday, in the latest show of unity between the two authoritarian allies
The visit furthers the effort by China and Russia to topple the US-led Western democratic order in favour of a more authoritarian model that crushes political opposition, human rights and freedom of speech. Mr Lavrov noted that the “duet of Moscow and Beijing plays a major balancing role in global affairs,” adding that “the Russian president’s forthcoming visit to will strengthen our joint work”.Moscow has forged increasingly close ties with Beijing as the war has dragged into a third year, diverting the bulk of its energy exports to China and relying on Chinese companies to import high-tech components for Russian military industries to circumvent Western sanctions.
