Putin 'open to a dialogue on Ukraine' that takes Moscow's interests into account
Russian President Vladimir Putin has told a Chinese media outlet that he is "open to a dialogue on Ukraine." He has also indicated that Moscow welcomes Beijing's involvement in the effort to resolve the conflict.
On Wednesday, Russia's presidential office posted online an interview that Putin gave to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.
The written interview was conducted ahead of Putin's official trip to China. The visit is scheduled to take place on Thursday and Friday.
The trip will be Putin's first foreign visit since his inauguration last week. The ceremony marked the beginning of his fifth term as president. Putin will visit Beijing and the northeastern city of Harbin, which is located in Heilongjiang Province.
The president said: "We commend China's approaches to resolving the crisis in Ukraine. Beijing is well aware of its root causes and global geopolitical significance, which is reflected in its 12-point-plan."
China released the plan, which calls for dialogue and a ceasefire, in February of 2023. The document did not call for Russian troops to be withdrawn from Ukraine.
The United States and other countries dismissed the plan. They suggested that it was one-sided in favor of Moscow.
During the interview, Putin said, "We are seeking a comprehensive, sustainable and just settlement of this conflict through peaceful means." He added that Russia is "open to a dialogue on Ukraine."
But he noted that "such negotiations must take into account the interests of all countries involved in the conflict, including Russia's."

Ex-student suspected of cheating on university entrance exam with smart glasses
Police in Tokyo suspect an 18-year-old male used smart glasses to cheat on a university entrance examination.
The police plan as early as Thursday to file criminal papers with prosecutors against him on suspicion of fraudulent obstruction of business.
The alleged cheating occurred at Waseda University's School of Creative Science and Engineering in February.
The man is suspected of using the electronic glasses to take photos of exam questions and upload them to social media network X to solicit answers.
He reportedly had used answers in that exam that he had received online and was later disqualified.
The cheating came to light after someone discovered the leak on X and notified the university.
University officials confirmed that the student was also wearing smart glasses when he showed up to take another exam at the university. They then contacted the police.
The police say the man has admitted the allegations. He told them he was desperate because he had already failed the entrance exam of his top choice national university.

Hiroshima livestreams airing out of A-bomb victims' lists for the first time
For the first time Hiroshima City has livestreamed the annual airing-out of record books that contain the names of the 1945 atomic bombing victims.
The work is done every year at the city's Peace Memorial Park to prevent humidity from damaging the registry, which is stored in the cenotaph.
The registry consists of 126 books listing the names and dates of death of the 339,227 people who had been exposed to the bomb, and who had died by August 5 last year.
On Wednesday, following a silent prayer at 8:15 a.m., the exact time the atomic bomb was dropped, about 20 workers took out the books one at a time and neatly laid them out on a sheet of white cloth.
Officials inspected each page for damage before letting it air dry.
Hiroshima City has been asking elementary and junior high schools to view the airing-out process as a way to educate their students on the importance of peace.
As only a few schools participated, the city decided to livestream the work for the first time. Three cameras were used and the footage will then be edited before being posted online.
A city official in charge of atomic bomb victims, Uemoto Shinji, said he hopes the event will raise awareness of the considerable damage nuclear weapons can cause on humans.
He also said he wants younger generations to watch their online content.

Traditional Aoi Matsuri procession takes place in Kyoto
People in traditional costumes paraded through the streets of the ancient Japanese capital Kyoto on Wednesday for the annual Aoi Matsuri festival.
The festival is one of Kyoto's three biggest and dates back 1,400 years when the Emperor Kinmei got horses to gallop to pray for a bountiful harvest. It features a procession decorated with aoi, or hollyhock, leaves.
The roughly 1-kilometer-long procession included about 500 people dressed in clothes modeled on those favored by aristocrats during the Heian period, which began in the late eighth century.
Matsuura Akiko, a company employee, served as this year's Saiodai, a high-ranking woman who is the central figure of the procession.
She told reporters beforehand that she hoped her vivid costume would complement the lush greenery.
Local police said that as of 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, about 15,000 people gathered, eager to catch a glimpse of the scenes reminiscent of historical scrolls.
