The United States welcomes a possible conversation between Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
This was announced on March 13 by Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
This will be a good thing because it will potentially bring more balance and perspective to the PRC’s approach to the war in Ukraine. And we hope that we will continue to refuse them to decide to provide lethal assistance to Russia, Sullivan said at a briefing in Washington.
Recall that Chinese leader Xi Jinping plans to speak with Zelensky for the first time since the start of a full-scale Russian invasion. The conversation is likely to take place after Xi meets with Putin in Moscow, The Wall Street Journal reported.
So far, the Ukrainian side has not received confirmation of the conversation between Zelensky and Xi, but the United States hopes that this will happen.
A direct conversation between Xi and Zelensky would mark a significant step in Beijing’s efforts to play the role of peacemaker in Ukraine, which has so far been viewed with skepticism in Europe.
