Zelensky holds first war phone call with China's Xi

Apr 5,2022 8:50 pm

Ukraine's Volodymr Zelensky says he has had a " long and meaningful" phone call with China's Xi Jinping , their First Contact since Russia's war began.

He on Twitter he believed The Call , along with The Appointment of an ambassador to Beijing, would " give a powerful impetus to the development of our bilateral relations".

China confirmed The Call , adding that it " always stood on the side of peace".

Until Now , Beijing has sought to show a neutral stance on The Russian invasion.

But it has never condemned The Invasion and last month President Xi paid a two-day state visit to Russia.

He referred to President Vladimir Putin as his " dear friend" and insisted that China stood on The Right side of history. However, he made no commitment to providing Russia with weapons.

Within days of The Visit , President Zelensky invited the Chinese leader to visit Kyiv for talks, noting that they had had contact before the full-scale war but nothing since it began in February 2022.

In a readout of Wednesday's phone call, China's CCTV quoted President Xi as saying that China would " neither watch The Fire from The Other side, nor Add Fuel to The Fire , let alone take advantage of The Crisis to profit".
