But also that Xi is doing Putin a solid by trying to stop Ukraine from their offensive.

You know that a sniper system, I won't say sniper as its all AI though the tactical side is still human, now has the ability to hit a target at up to 3 miles yet its so rarely the people who actually need killing get killed in this world.

China is trying to play both sides of the street while not strongly committing to either. China is just looking out for their own interesting. This includes their proposals for a negotiated settlement.
 
LOL - They should send to money directly to Ukraine for rebuilding.

"We have received a message from the prosecutor's office that funds from the accounts of the embassy and trade mission in Santander Bank have been transferred to the accounts of the prosecutor's office," the ambassador said.

According to him, the funds in question were substantial and were held in both US dollars and Polish zlotys. Andreev said that this is a gross violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

Warsaw previously froze the accounts of the Russian embassy after Russia's invasion of Ukraine over suspicions of possible use for money laundering or terrorism. Santander Bank, meanwhile, announced that it had terminated its cooperation with the embassy and closed the accounts.

According to the Rzeczpospolita newspaper, it was about US$912,000 and 800,000 zlotys [approximately US$180,000]. At the same time, 45 Russian diplomats were expelled from Poland on charges of espionage.

In May 2022, in response to the blocking of the accounts of the Russian Embassy in Warsaw, Moscow froze the accounts of the Polish diplomatic mission.
