Ukraine-China Relations Amidst Conflict: Selenskyj Receives Xi Jinping's Pledge

Ukrainian President Selenskyj reveals that China's President Xi Jinping has assured him over the phone of halting weapon sales to Russia, a promise received with skepticism. This development comes as the USA and Ukraine ink a bilateral security agreement committing to military training and defense equipment provision.

Concurrently, China presents its own peace plan for Ukraine, advocating for an international conference with equal participation from all parties, diverging from efforts at the Swiss summit endorsed by President Zelensky. As Ukraine embraces China's proposed 'peace formula,' tensions persist with Russia, which remains firm on its stance, advocating for the acknowledgment of annexed territories as part of 'new realities'.
