Xi Told Trump that Putin May 'Regret' Invading Ukraine

China called the report false after the Financial Times said Xi warned Trump that Putin may regret the Ukraine invasion.

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping told President Donald Trump during talks in Beijing last week that Russian leader Vladimir Putin may ultimately regret launching his full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
  • Russia hammered Ukraine over several days last week, flattening a Kyiv apartment building where 24 people died, including three children, during a terrifying wave of airstrikes that intensified the four-year conflict.
  • Russian forces fired 524 attack drones and 22 ballistic and cruise missiles, Zelensky said, while a Shahed drone struck a Chinese-owned cargo ship, prompting Ukrainian official Dmytro Pletenchuk to question if it was a 'monstrous mistake.'
  • The Kremlin said on Monday the Russia-Ukraine peace process is currently paused, as Spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Trump's remarks that deadly strikes could set back peace efforts.
  • Putin seeks to expand ties with China, stating relations have reached an 'unprecedented level,' while NATO Allies conduct the TFP26 exercise with approximately 1,000 service members across Eastern Europe.
