US is still going on about lethal aid to Russia.
Personally I think it would be silly not to have that card in your hand, particularly on the eve of that peace plan. Wang Yi might be in Moscow to hash out the final details to make sure those aid can reach the front smoothly. Notice how many meeting Wang Yi is having there and how little we know of what was actually talked about. Putin even used his long table side ways with Wang Yi.
Guanqi gang had a good point: if lethal aid gets the go ahead the most obvious sign we will see is all pro-Ukraine voices on Chinese internet instantly silenced. Be on the watch out for this.
Speaking of which - Apart from Putin and Lavrov, Wang Yi also met with the Secretary of the Security Council of the Russia Nikolai Patrushev in Moscow.
Both parties discussed the current international strategic situation and expressed their readiness to jointly practice true multilateralism, resist all forms of unilateral intimidation, promote the democratization of international relations and a multipolar world.
During the conversation, an agreement was reached to continue strengthening cooperation in multilateral formats and making more efforts to improve global governance.
Both sides stressed the need to resolutely maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and opposed the Cold War mentality, as well as bloc and ideological confrontation. In conclusion, Wang Yi and Patrushev exchanged views on the Ukrainian issue.
Interestingly, according to Reuters, Moscow said Wang Yi and Lavrov did not discuss about the supposed Chinese peace proposal for Ukraine.
