"On the same day, when [Chinese] President Xi Jinping told me... about the positive aspects of the Chinese peace plan on the Ukraine [conflict] settlement, on that day we learned about the supply of millions of shells to Ukraine from the Western countries... The following day, right before a press conference, we learned that the UK was going to supply shells with depleted uranium [to Kiev]," Putin told the Russia-24 broadcaster.
The Russian president also said that the West was doing that "intentionally to disrupt the talks between Russia and China."
