Zelensky invites Xi Jinping to Ukraine

Zelensky said this in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press, according to Ukrinform.

"We are ready to see him here. I want to speak with him. I had contact with him before full-scale war. But during all this year, more than one year, I didn't have," he said.

Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the President's Office, said earlier that the preparatory work on organizing a direct conversation between the leaders of Ukraine and China is ongoing and "it has not yet reached any final stage."

Xi Jinping visited Russia on March 20-22. He invited Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is suspected of crimes against humanity, to visit China.
