Russian President Vladimir Putin ​will visit China ‌very soon and preparations for the trip ​are already complete, ​Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov ⁠said on ​Thursday.

It would be preferable for everything to be prepared in advance for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, said Alexey Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, in an interview with Lenta.ru.
