published Thursday, Zelensky said he had sought a conversation with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping even as the Russian invasion of the former Soviet republic began.

I had a conversation with President Jingping about a year ago.

After the beginning of the large-scale Russian aggression on February 24, we made several attempts to talk with China, but we did not succeed, and such a conversation would be useful, Zelensky explained to the publication.
