The talks between the two leaders of the countries will be the first interaction at this level between the two states since the beginning of a full-scale war.
Washington welcomes possible talks between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This was announced on Monday, March 13, at a briefing by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, CNN reports.
So, the head of the PRC will personally hear the “Ukrainian point of view, and not only the Russian one,” the White House believes.
“We encourage President Xi to contact President Zelensky because we believe that Mr. Xi should hear the Ukrainian side of the war in Ukraine, not only the Russian side. We have really argued with Beijing that the dialogue should take place this relationship. We made it public and not public,” Sullivan said.
The spokesman of the White House noted that so far the Ukrainian side has not received confirmation of the conversation between Zelensky and Xi.
“We talked to our colleagues in Ukraine today, I saw news reports, they have not received confirmation that there will be a phone call or video conference,” the official said.
Sullivan added that a conversation between the Ukrainian president and the leader of the PRC could bring more balance to Beijing’s stance and continue to deter it from a possible decision to provide Russia with lethal weapons. .
It will be remembered that CNN previously reported that China is inclined to send weapons to the Russian Federation. The final decision has not yet been made, but negotiations between Moscow and Beijing on the price and quantity of the equipment are ongoing. The CIA later confirmed this information.
Biden promised China a tough response in the case of arms supplies to Russia
