Ukraine’s Zelensky Holds First War Phone Call With China’s Xi

 

Their first communication since the start of Russia’s conflict, according to Volodymr Zelensky of Ukraine, was a “long and meaningful” phone call with Xi Jinping of China.
On Twitter, he expressed his belief that the call and the appointment of an ambassador to Beijing would “give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations”.
China acknowledged the call and said that it “always stood on the side of peace”.
Beijing, in contrast to the West, has attempted to appear unaffected by the Russian incursion.
However, it has never shied away from denouncing the invasion or its close connections to Moscow, and President Xi visited Russia for two days last month.
