Chinese President Xi Jinping had a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, TASS reports.
Xi Jinping said that regardless of the international situation, Beijing is ready to regulate with Kyiv and that China will seek an early ceasefire in Ukraine. The PRC noted that dialogue and conflict are the only way out of the conflict. Chinese leader stated that it will send a representative to visit Ukraine and other countries to participate in the settlement.
Zelensky called the conversation long and meaningful.
“I believe that this call, as well as the appointment of the Ukrainian ambassador to China, will give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations,” he said on Twitter.
He also said that Beijing will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to Kyiv within its capabilities.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation has already reacted to this:
“We note China's readiness to make efforts to establish the negotiation process. At the same time, Kyiv demonstrates its rejection of any sound initiatives aimed at a settlement. The Ukrainian authorities and their Western curators have already demonstrated their ability to wind up peaceful initiatives,” Zakharova said.
