This time the foreign minister of China is going to Russia

US President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Monday and after meeting with the country's President Volodymyr Zelensky, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Yi is heading in the opposite direction to Russia.

This visit of the Chinese Foreign Minister is particularly important. That's because Chinese leader Xi Jinping promoted him as his chief foreign policy adviser last month. It is believed that Yi is making this visit to establish balance in the context of Biden's visit to Ukraine in view of the anniversary of the war in Ukraine. Next Friday will mark one year since the start of that war. The geopolitical divide between the world's two superpowers has intensified over this war.

He also claimed that China has already started helping the Wagner forces of the country.
