China's Xi visits Moscow as alliance with Russia grows; Putin's trip to ruined Mariupol angers Kyiv
This is CNBC's live blog tracking developments on the war in Ukraine. See below for the latest updates.
Russia is seen to be the junior partner in the relationship with China and it's uncertain how far Beijing's friendship with Moscow could go, particularly after the West threatened to sanction China if it helps Russia militarily. CNBC is unable to independently verify ISW's assessment, though it aligns with others' analysis including that of Ukrainian commanders. Russia's Ministry of Defense did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
Xi added that there was a "clear historical logic and strong internal driving force for the growth of China-Russia relations" that had come a long way in the last decade. In a carefully choreographed visit, Putin traveled to the port city in southern Ukraine by helicopter before he was seen driving and inspecting parts of the city and talking to local residents. On Saturday, he had reportedly visited Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.
