Chinese President Xi Jinping has told Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call that China welcomed growing contact between Moscow and Washington, voicing support for a political resolution to the war in Ukraine, according to state media. The call on Friday, held at Putin’s request, comes as preparations are underway for a potential summit between Putin and US President Donald Trump aimed at ending the conflict in Ukraine.
