Ukraine war: Zelensky keen to meet Xi following China's peace plan
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he plans to meet China's leader Xi Jinping to discuss Beijing's proposals on ending the war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Russia hailed the Chinese peace proposals. "We share Beijing's views," the foreign ministry in Moscow said in a statement.Beijing was considering supplying weapons and ammunition to Russia China appears to be siding with Russia, though it would like to find a way of rescuing President Putin by arranging some kind of face-saving peace deal, says the BBC's World Affairs Editor John Simpson.
But the attack on the capital Kyiv was soon repulsed and the Ukrainian military was later able to retake large areas. The Ukrainian leader added that his country had failed to engage sufficiently with countries in Africa and Latin America afterduring a UN General Assembly vote on a resolution condemning Russia's invasion.Asked if he could name his worst moment of the war so far, Mr Zelensky said Bucha, a town outside Kyiv where Russian troops are accused of having killed civilians in the early part of the war.
