The member of the German Christian Democratic Union (KDS) Bundestag, Roderich Kieseweter, announced this, writes the German “Spiegel”.
According to him, China does not perceive Ukraine as part of its sovereign territory at all.
“They see Ukraine as part of Russia, just as they see Taiwan as part of the People’s Republic of China,” said the deputy.
Therefore, Xi Jinping is unlikely to change the diplomatic course and agree to talks with Ukraine. Kyiv should not pay attention to China’s “peace initiatives”, he believes.
Zelensky invites the Chinese leader for talks
Ukrainian authorities have been trying to engage in dialogue with China since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, as Beijing is a major geopolitical figure capable of significantly bolstering Russia’s military by selling its technology and weapons. It has been discussed more than once in the White House.
On March 25, it became known that President Volodymyr Zelenskyi has officially sent a “signal” to Beijing that he would like to hold talks with Xi Jinping.
Already on March 29, it became known that Zelensky is not opposed to seeing the Chinese leader in Kyiv to speak in person for the first time during a full-scale war, writes UNIAN.
