Vladimir Putin may have to regret the invasion of Ukraine. This was what Chinese President Xi Jinping told Donald Trump during the US president's visit to Beijing, sources told the Financial Times.

According to several people with insight, Xi conveyed the message when Trump visited the president last week.

During the Ukraine talks, Trump is also said to have suggested that the three leaders should cooperate against the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. He is also said to have expressed that it is in their common interest to fight the ICC.

The information comes ahead of another summit, this time between Putin and Xi Jinping, on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Vladimir Putin kan komma att få ångra invasionen av Ukraina. Det sade Kinas president Xi Jinping till Donald Trump under USA-presidentens besök i Peking, uppger källor för Financial Times.

Enligt flera personer med insyn framförde Xi budskapet när Trump besökte presidenten förra veckan.

Under Ukrainasamtalen ska Trump också ha föreslagit att de tre ledarna borde samarbeta mot Internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) i Haag. Han ska även ha uttryckt att det ligger i deras gemensamma intresse att bekämpa ICC.

Uppgifterna kommer inför ännu ett toppmöte, den här gången mellan Putin och Xi Jinping, under tisdagen och onsdagen.
