Today, Chinese President Xi Jinping is in Moscow for a three-day visit hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin. During their meeting, Xi expressed support for Putin to be reelected and conveyed China's willingness to help find a political solution to the war in Ukraine.

Recently, the US authorized an additional 350 million in security aid, and eighteen European nations have agreed to jointly procure ammunition to aid Ukraine.

Norway has also delivered eight Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked the US for the aid package and expressed confidence in the EU's ammunition plan. The White House is interested in having another conversation between Biden and Xi, and is working on arranging economic visits by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to China.

According to Ukrainian intelligence officials, there is currently no evidence of China supplying weapons to Russia. The US is encouraging Xi to advocate for a resolution to the war in Ukraine that includes a complete withdrawal of Russian troops. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has stated that the US will continue to support Ukraine in its efforts to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The conflict in Ukraine has been ongoing since 2014, and the US and its allies have been working to find a peaceful resolution. The US has been providing economic and military aid to Ukraine, and is now encouraging China to join in the effort to end the war. It remains to be seen if China will be willing to take a more active role in the conflict, but the US is hopeful that Xi's visit to Moscow will lead to a peaceful resolution.
