China's Xi leaves Moscow as Russian missiles and drones attack Ukraine

Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a three-day state visit to Moscow, accompanied by Russian President Vladimir Putin, where they issued a joint statement on the war in Ukraine.

Despite Beijing's position as a peacemaker in the conflict, Russia reportedly launched missiles and drones on Ukraine as Xi departed for China.

The incident occurred just after the leaders of the two nations had issued a joint statement calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The visit was significant as it demonstrated China and Russia's continued cooperation and alignment on international issues, despite their own ongoing conflicts with the West.
