” We are ready to see it here,” said Zelensky in an interview with the news agency.
Xi has not spoken to Zelensky since last February, when Russia began the invasion of Ukraine. China just last month published a 12-point plan for “a political solution to the Ukraine crisis “.
Xi discussed the conflict with” his friend “, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during an official visit to Moscow last week, though the talks showed no progress towards the end of the war.
China's proposal includes a call for de-terration and a ceasefire in Ukraine.
However, the US has remained controversial to the proposal, as China has refused to condemn Russia for its invasion in Ukraine.
The US argues that a ceasefire at this time would secure Russian territorial benefits and give Putin's army more time to regroup.
Ukraine has welcomed China's diplomatic involvement, but Zelensky has said he will take into account peace deals only if Russian troops withdraw from Ukrainian soil.
