Zelensky did not say when or where he was planning to meet Xi but expressed hope that China would support a “just peace” and Ukraine.
“I really want to believe that China will not supply weapons to Russia. It is very important for me,” Zelensky said. Earlier Friday, China called for urgent peace talks as it released a plan to end the war in Ukraine. Several Western powers rebuffed the proposals and also warned against Beijing’s close ties to Moscow.
Zelensky also said on Friday he was convinced that only a country whose territory is under attack can initiate “any peace initiatives.” Beijing has sought to position itself as a neutral party in the conflict, while maintaining close ties with strategic ally Russia.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
