"The 'solution to the conflict' is very simple: an immediate withdrawal of the Russian troops from all over Ukraine."

In separate comments on the Samarkand summit, Mr. XI said that the world had entered a time of turmoil and its management colleagues should merging to suppress "color revolutions", a term that is used to describe pro-democratic movements, including Hong Kong.

"We should support the efforts of the other to protect the security and development interests, prevent external strength from staging colored revolutions, and together against the interference in the internal affairs of other countries under any pretext," said Mr. XI.
