Ukraine invites Wang Yi to see consequences of Russian aggression personally

Ukraine has invited Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to pay a visit to see firsthand the consequences of Russia's aggression and hold deeper bilateral talks.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said this at a briefing, a Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Yes, we invited him, and it was not just a protocol invitation, which is usually made during any visit, but a “real invitation”. We are ready to welcome Minister Wang Yi to Ukraine so that he can see with his own eyes the consequences of Russian aggression against our country and to have deeper bilateral conversations with him on a number of regional and bilateral issues,” Tykhyi said.

 The spokesperson noted that the dialogue between Ukraine and China will continue, and the Chinese side was interested in the proposal.

According to Kuleba, his Chinese counterpart agreed that we need a just and sustainable peace in Ukraine, not an illusion of it.
