Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, at a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, called on him to talk to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. He emphasized that Spain supports the Ukrainian "peace formula".

Reuters writes about it.

"I conveyed our concern about the illegal invasion of Ukraine and urged Xi to talk to President Zelensky," Sanchez noted.

According to him, a direct dialogue would allow Xi Jinping to learn about Kyivʼs peace plan "firsthand".

The Spanish Prime Minister is confident that the "peace formula" will help lay the foundations for a lasting peace in Ukraine. In addition, it "fully complies with the UN Charter and its principles.

At the same time, Chinaʼs ambassador to the European Union Fu Cun noted that the Peopleʼs Republic of China is in contact with Ukraine and does not rule out communication between Xi Jinping and Zelensky.

  • The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky invited Chinese leader Xi Jinping to Ukraine. The President of Ukraine communicated with the President of the Peopleʼs Republic of China before the start of a full-scale war. He has repeatedly said that he wants to talk to Xi Jinping. It was expected that after the Chinese leaderʼs visit to Moscow in March, a conversation between him and Zelensky would take place, but the Presidentʼs Office said that there were some difficulties with the organization due to Chinaʼs position.
