Quote from Danilov: "The formula for the successful implementation of China's ‘peace plan’. First and foremost is the surrender or withdrawal of Russian occupation forces from the territory of Ukraine following international law and the UN Charter. In order to restore sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity [of Ukraine – ed.]."
Details: Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, is going to visit Russia on 20-22 March which will become his first visit abroad since being re-elected for a third term as head of state.
