Reuters: China's top diplomat due in Moscow as Beijing scolds United States 

MOSCOW/BEIJING (Reuters) -China told the United States on Monday to keep out of its relationship with Russia, just as Beijing's top diplomat prepared for a visit to Moscow, and possibly a meeting with Vladimir Putin, to discuss ideas for peace in Ukraine. 

China is preparing to outline its position on a possible "political settlement" to the Ukraine war just as Washington and Beijing spar over the shooting down of balloons over the United States and U.S. claims China could supply weapons to Moscow. 

Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has triggered one of the deadliest European conflicts since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed the planned visit by China's top diplomat, Wang Yi, to Moscow but gave no date for the trip.
