Russian President Vladimir Putin welcomed China's readiness to play a constructive role in the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.
The Russian president said - in statements reported by the "Russia Today" news channel on Sunday evening - that his country is open to a political-diplomatic settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, despite the lack of results during the negotiations that took place in April of last year.
Putin added that Russian-Chinese relations serve as a cornerstone of regional and global stability, stimulate economic growth, as well as act as a guarantor of a positive agenda in international affairs, describing at the same time the relations between his country and China as an example of harmonious creative cooperation between major powers.
