- This is the general security situation in the world.
- The summit should take place next year, as suggested by the two heads of state following a joint video link.

The Kremlin also said that China supports Russia in its NATO policy. Russia is demanding some kind of security guarantee from NATO.
Vladimir Putin also confirmed his plans to travel to Beijing in February to open the Winter Olympics and meet Xi Jinping for negotiations.
Russia wants to prevent NATO from expanding to the east
Putin also informed his Chinese colleagues of the video summit he held with US President Joe Biden in early December. Moscow’s demands for legally binding security guarantees were also discussed.
Specifically, the issue was that Russia wanted to prevent NATO from expanding to the east – and above all from accepting Ukraine into the military alliance. In addition, nuclear energy refuses to erect more military infrastructure and NATO weapons systems in front of its borders.
The proposals corresponding to the security guarantees demanded by Russia have been handed over to the United States, Yuri Ushakov, Putin’s foreign policy adviser from Interfax, said. Karen Dunfried, US foreign policy, visited the State Department in Moscow for talks.
NATO stressed that each country can decide for itself which alliance to join. Russia sees its national security as threatened by NATO and the USA if Ukraine is accepted and announced the consequences if the West does not take Moscow’s concerns seriously. Ushakov said that China supported the Russian line in switching the video.
