DELUDED Vladimir Putin crowed about his supposed wish for "peace" as he cosied up to ally Xi Jinping today.
It comes despite the tyrant launching a fresh offensive in Ukraine just days ago as the bloodshed continues two years into the war he started.
The Russian president has jetted to Beijing for a two-day visit for a chilling summit with his Chinese counterpart as he pushes forward a new blitz in the Kharkiv region.
Putin, 71, and Xi, 70, declared a "no limits" relationship in 2022 - just days before the dictator invaded Ukraine.
He has continued to cosy up to Xi and cling to China as an ally after being stung by hundreds of sanctions from the West over his illegal war.
Putin has used Xi as a lifeline, with Russia becoming increasingly economically dependent on China as Western sanctions cut its access to much of the international trading system.
Following his dawn arrival, Putin was greeted by Xi with full military honours at the Great Hall of the People.
The pair were pictured strutting along a red carpet on what marks Putin's first international visit since he began his unprecedented fifth presidential term following a sham election.
Xi said the two countries were furthering their relationship as good neighbours, good friends, and good partners, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
His remarks came as a haunting echo of their commitment to the "no limits" relationship they signed in 2022.
Xi today hailed the "75 years of persistent accumulation of ever-lasting friendship and all-round cooperation" between Russia and China.
In talks described as "warm and comradely" by Putin, the pair also signed a joint statement confirming they will deepen the strategic partnership of the two countries.

Perhaps, but it is awful truth about the USA today. Biden is the most immoral leader since Caligula.
Or did that silly exercise get too ridiculous even for you?
Proved my point, you did.
