What did Putin and Xi say about Israel’s strikes?

Yuri Ushakov, a Kremlin aide, told reporters that in their phone calls, both leaders had “identical approaches” to the regional confrontation and agreed that the crisis can’t be resolved through military activity.

Both leaders “strongly condemn Israel’s actions, which violate the U.N. Charter and other norms of international law,” Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov informed journalists.

“Both Moscow and Beijing fundamentally believe that there is no military solution to the current situation and issues related to Iran’s nuclear programme. This solution must be achieved exclusively through political and diplomatic means,” stated Ushakov.

Russia has also asked the US not to join Israel’s bombing and has threatened a catastrophe if the Israel-Iran crisis, which is currently on its seventh day, worsens.

In recent days, the president of Russia has also communicated with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and U.S. President Donald Trump. He has stated time and again that Russia is prepared to arbitrate between the warring parties. No one has accepted Russia’s offer yet. In a phone conversation with close ally Xi on Thursday, Putin restated that claim.
