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.

Tell your zElenskyy that the Russians are at the door in Kharkov and Kherson - not in Russian Crimea.
Novorossiysk isn’t in Crimea.
Next up, Sochi.
What's your point?
Tell your zElenskyy that the Russians are STILL at the door in Kharkov and Kherson.
Kuleba got your tongue?
Tell your zElenskyy to restore power in Kharkov.
Before the end of June, at least.
Novorossiysk, Russia ❗
Another video from the moment of the attack on Novorossiysk. Residents reported explosions 💥 in Novorossiysk, and power has gone out ⚡

What CHP-5 doink, Doink?
At CHP-5, a plant in Kharkiv that generates electricity and heat, the acrid stench of smoke still hangs in the air. Its damaged generator and turbine must be replaced, according to plant manager Oleksandr Minkovich.
Spare parts for the Soviet-era plant can only be sourced from Russia, and full restoration would likely take years, he said. But Minkovitch hopes Ukraine’s Western partners will provide modern technology to decentralize power in time for winter [2026 or 2027].
And another explosion at the port of Novorossiysk.

Now that the Page 3 Girl is gone, the Sun is reduced to calling Xi and Putin a pair of boobs.

So this is what "orthodoxy" has trained you to believe?
You've apostatized from the One, True Faith to join Russia's state "religion"?
Only fools do that. Robert Hansen, too, was a fool; but he did it for money.
