The Russian presidential office says Xi and Putin held talks for a total of over 10 hours.

There was no specific mention of Chinese weapon supplies to Russia, a prospect that the United States and other countries are concerned about.

There are reports of possible online talks between Xi and Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian president said on Tuesday that nothing has been decided, and there is no concrete information.
