Who is the first world leader to shake Putin’s hand since the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for his arrest?

Chinese leader Xi Jinping met Vladimir Putin in Moscow on March 20, 2023. He is the first world leader to meet the Russian leader, a few days after the International Criminal Court charged him with war crimes in Ukraine. Xi presented China as a global peacemaker intent on ending the Ukraine war. In its peace plan, China calls for formal respect for Ukrainian sovereignty, protection of civilians, and prohibition of nuclear weapons. Russia applauded China’s willingness to play a constructive role, but Western leaders dismissed the peace plan, arguing that Beijing lacks the international credibility to mediate. China looks to Russia as a source of oil and gas for its energy-hungry economy and a partner in opposing what both see as American dominance in global affairs._x000D__x000D_, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida visited Kyiv. Kishida and Xi’s visits highlight deep divisions in northeast Asia over the Ukraine war, with Japan promising substantial assistance to Kyiv while China remains isolated in its support of Putin.
