Volodymyr Zelensky spoke during a call
According to a Chinese readout, Xi told Zelensky “dialogue and negotiations are the only viable way out for the Ukraine crisis, and no one wins a nuclear war.” The last time the two leaders spoke was in January, 2022. Xi had talked to Russia’s Vladimir Putin multiple times during the war. After the call, China’s Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that Li Hui, a former ambassador to Russia, will act as special representative to Ukraine, charged with trying to find a settlement to the crisis.
; after the call, the country has given no indication it will change the plan, which Kyiv views as heavily favouring Moscow. Kyiv also made it clear that Ukraine’s position remained unchanged., noting that Xi’s acceptance of Zelensky’s invitation to talk at this point in time may be an attempt to make Ukraine’s planned counteroffensive look as though the country is rebuffing peace talks in favour of aggression.
Norman B. Keevil, the controlling shareholder of Teck Resources, did not know which way China Investment Corp. voted, with only about 12 hours to go before the start of the shareholder meeting, a source familiar with the matter said. CIC is Teck’s biggest class B shareholder with a 10.3-per-cent stake.
