China Agrees to Help Mediate Peace Between Russia and Ukraine
- China intends to send an envoy to Kyiv to discuss a political settlement for the war in Ukraine.
- Chinese President Xi Jinping spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine 14 months ago.
- Zelensky expressed optimism following the latest talks, which he described as "long and meaningful" on social media.
- China has declared itself neutral in the conflict, despite the fact that it has not condemned Russia's unprovoked invasion and has blocked efforts at the United Nations to condemn the war.
- China was Ukraine's biggest trading partner before the invasion, though on a smaller scale than Chinese-Russian trade.
