The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with the President of the People’s Republic of China Xi Jinping on arms supplies to Russia.

Zelensky stated that during the telephone conversation with Xi Jinping, the issues of implementing the Ukraine’s Peace Formula, the return of deported Ukrainian children from Russia, the release of prisoners, and ensuring the operation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative were discussed.

Ukraine is determined to involve as many states as possible in implementing the proposed Peace Formula to put pressure on the aggressor country.

“So that as many countries as possible were involved in this formula or in the platform where our formula is discussed, and they could then put pressure on the Russian Federation to restore peace, restore our territorial integrity,” the President noted.

The President of Ukraine said that during the phone talk, the need to restore the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine within the borders of 1991 and the importance of observing the UN Charter were discussed.

“We talked about all this and heard respect for all these principles. I believe that it is very important,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The leaders of Ukraine and China also discussed the return of Ukrainian prisoners and almost 20,000 children deported by the Russian invaders.

“There are moments when we must involve everyone we can, different countries, so that they put pressure on the aggressor and terrorist – the Russian Federation, which kidnapped so many of our children,” the President said.

In addition, during the conversation with the President of the People’s Republic of China, the President of Ukraine emphasized the inadmissibility of the supply of weapons to the aggressor country by any country in the world.

“Ukraine would like all states to understand the risks of supplying any type of weapon to the Russian Federation. I heard a positive answer in this respect,” Volodymyr Zelensky said.

According to the Head of State, during the telephone conversation with Xi Jinping, the threat of blocking the Black Sea grain corridor was also discussed.

“Before the war, we were probably the largest grain exporter to China. And that’s why Russia, when it blocks it… It seems to me that all interested countries should put pressure on the Russian Federation so that there is no blocking of this corridor,” he noted.
