Negotiations continue: Podolyak on the likelihood of a conversation between Zelensky and Xi Jinping

As Podolyak noted on the air of the telethon, Zelensky is open to conversations not only with Xi Jinping, but also with other leaders, in order to “explain the nature of the war, and say why, without taking into account the position of Ukraine, this war cannot be ended.”
“Why, for example, only the support of the Russian side, firstly, will not lead to the finalization of the war, and secondly, will not add points to China as a global player who understands the nature of war and understands how this war should really be ended,” he explained. He.
