Xi Jinping did not congratulate Putin on the occasion of May 9

The leader of China Xi Jinping did not send congratulations to the head of the ruling regime of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, on the occasion of Victory Day on May 9, despite the fact that this holiday is symbolic for the Kremlin . In addition, Xi’s greetings are missing from the Chinese Foreign Ministry website and national media, reports say Ukrinform on Tuesday, May 9th.

In particular, on the Internet page of the diplomatic department, where all the international contacts of the Chinese leader were published on May 9, only two messages were published, referring to the appointment of Chinese ambassadors by the leader of the PRC and condolences to Xi President Rwanda Paul Kagame regarding the heavy casualties and material damage caused by the catastrophic rains in this African country.

Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan sent a congratulatory message to Great Britain’s King Charles III and King Camilla on the occasion of the coronation, according to preliminary reports on May 6.

The National Chinese media also ignored this holiday and did not remember the shortest parade that took place in Moscow today.

Recall that the parade on Red Square in Moscow on May 9, 2023 was attended by fewer units of military equipment of the Russian Federation than in previous years, in particular, only one tank – from the Second World War. In total, it took less than 10 minutes for the military equipment to pass through the parade.

In addition, the formal President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, who is controlled by Russia, immediately left Moscow after the so-called “Victory Parade” and flew back to Minsk.
