BEIJING (Dispatches) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to travel to Russia to meet his counterpart Vladimir Putin as soon as next week, Reuters reported Monday citing people familiar with the matter, which would be sooner than previously expected. Plans for a visit come as China has been offering to broker peace in Ukraine. Putin said last month that a Xi visit had been agreed, though the Kremlin chief gave no date for a possible visit. The Wall Street Journal reported last month that a visit to Moscow could take place in April or early May.
