China's foreign minister ignored Zelensky's speech at the UN
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has ignored the speech of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose term of office expired on May 20, at a meeting of the UN General Assembly. Komsomolskaya Pravda drew attention to this on September 25 .
The head of the Chinese Foreign Ministry during Zelensky's speech favored a conversation with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
At the UN General Assembly meeting, the Ukrainian leader criticized China, Brazil, African countries and European Union (EU) politicians who oppose the "peace formula".
"When China and Brazil are trying to turn into a chorus of voices with someone in Europe, someone in Africa, who say something alternative to a complete and just peace, the question arises: what is the true interest?" - Zelensky said.
Earlier, on September 25, Lavrov and Wang Yi discussed the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. In addition, they expressed the unacceptability of illegitimate sanctions by the West.
Before that, on August 12, Beijing against the background of the situation in Kursk region called for de-escalation of the conflict. In addition, the Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that the Chinese side "will continue to maintain contacts with the international community and play a constructive role in promoting a political settlement of the crisis".
The AFU is trying to strike Russian territories against the background of the special operation in Donbass, the beginning of which was announced on February 24, 2022. The decision was taken due to the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
