MOSCOW – The Kremlin said on Thursday it welcomes anything that will bring the end of the Ukraine conflict closer when asked what it thought of a phone call a day earlier between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
“We are ready to welcome anything that could hasten the end of the conflict in Ukraine and Russia achieving all the goals it has set itself,” Mr Peskov said of their phone call. Nato secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg said while Kyiv’s allies also welcome Mr Xi’s reaching out to Mr Zelensky, it has not changed the fact that China has still not condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“In total we have trained and equipped more than nine new Ukrainian armoured brigades. This will put Ukraine in a strong position to continue to retake occupied territory,” he said.
