JAKARTA - Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed a meeting of G7 country leaders in Canada this week.

The bloc of these rich countries struggles to find unity over the war in Ukraine after US President Donald Trump expressed his support for Putin and left the G7 summit a day early to tackle the Israeli-Iran conflict.

Trump's rapid departure saw Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lose the memen to meet the US president and at the same time urge the US to provide more weapons.

Putin and Xi discussed the results of the recent G7 meeting in Canada. In particular, they noted that there were known problems in the relationship between the participants," Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov told reporters.

"For Zelenskyy, this is not at all the most successful overseas trip," he added.

In a phone call that lasted about an hour, the Kremlin said Xi and Putin discussed the Israel-Iran crisis, bilateral relations, and cooperation within the BRICS group, which will hold a summit in Brazil next month, including initiatives for a new BRICS investment platform for developing countries.
