More than 440 bodies found in mass burial site, with Ukrainian president calling for the world to hold Russia to account as it ‘leaves death everywhere’
When Vladimir Putin met Xi Jinping for the first time since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, the Russian president said he understood China’s “questions and concerns” about the war.
It was a rare nod to tensions between the two states caused by the invasion, and the Russian leader seemed especially keen to curry favour with Xi, striking a conciliatory tone on a topic where he is often volatile and uncompromising.
