President Vladimir Putin will provide Chinese President Xi Jinping with detailed "clarifications" on Russia's point of view on the Ukraine conflict during Xi's state visit to Russia that begins on Monday, the Kremlin said.
During a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the two leaders would discuss themes in a peace plan for Ukraine proposed by Beijing last month.
"One way or another, the topics that figured in this plan will inevitably be touched upon during the exchange of views on Ukraine" between Putin and Xi, Peskov said.

Clarifications = Concessions.
Putin’s Beta energy is stronk today!
Putin to Xi Jinping: “We are always open to the negotiation process with Ukraine, we will discuss your peace initiatives…we treat them with unconditional respect”.
Ukraine does not have the demographics nor will it get the advanced enough weapons to push Russia back out of its country’s borders and keep them out. If this war is to end it will end by give and take and negotiations. Does prolonging what is happening now favor one side or the other?
"It gives me great pleasure to once again set foot on the soil of Russia, our friendly neighbor, and pay a state visit to the Russian Federation at the invitation of President Vladimir Putin," the Chinese leader said.
"On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I wish to extend warm greetings and best wishes to the Russian government and people," he added. "China and Russia are friendly neighbors and reliable partners connected by shared mountains and rivers."
"The growth of China-Russia relations has not only brought tangible benefits to the people of our two countries, but also made important contributions to the development and progress of the world."
Funny, he didn't mention the survival of Ukraine, or the refusal of any of Russia's requests.
Putin send his Minister of Tourism to greet Xi at the airport! Nice job!
What provoked the conflict and is preventing any decrease in the intensity of hostilities is Russia's invasion. The conflict will end when the Russians go home.
And Xi will send State Of The Art Weapons to Russia. Nice Job!
"That's it! I'm definitely taking Siberia now."
Wait until he tells Putin that Chinese maps have relabeled current Russian cities in their original Chinese names. Hint. Hint, Putin lackey.
The Russians may defeat the Ukrainians in the field—the future is uncertain. But this would not end the conflict. The war has, if anything, raised the Ukrainians’ sense of nationhood and their opposition to Russian dominance. A Russian military victory would only move the conflict to an insurrection against Russian occupation. The only path to peace is for the Russians to recognize and accept that Ukrainians are not Russians, and that Ukraine will never be a peaceful part of Russia.
It’s funny that the Russians didn’t accept the same logic in 1941 in face against of the German invasion.
