KYIV: Chinese President Xi Jinping told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that China would not sell weapons to Russia during a phone conversation between the two men, Zelenskyy said on Thursday (Jun 13).
Zelenskyy was speaking at a joint press conference with US President Joe Biden at the G7 summit in Italy. He did not specify when the conversation with Xi took place.
"I had a firm conversation with (the) leader of China. He said that he will not sell any weapon to Russia. We’ll see if he’s (a) respectable person he will not, because he gave me (his) word," Zelenskyy said in English.
Biden chimed in as Zelenskyy finished speaking, saying: "By the way, China is not supplying weapons but the ability to produce those weapons and the technology available to do it, so it is in fact helping Russia."
Zelenskyy said that if Kyiv and China had the same views on peace there could be dialogue between them, and that if Beijing had an alternative view, it could prepare an alternative "peace formula".
The Ukrainian leader has promoted his vision for peace in Ukraine, which he calls his "peace formula".
Switzerland is scheduled to host international delegations from dozens of countries and organisation this weekend at a summit to try to bring peace in Ukraine closer.
The last publicly known phone call between Zelenskyy and Xi was in April 2023, the only such call since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
