Ukrainian mass media greatly exaggerate the consequences for Ukraine of Chinese leader Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow.

This opinion was expressed by Russian oppositionist and publicist Andriy Piontkovsky in an interview with Apostrophe.

"It seems to me that in the Ukrainian media, Xi's visit is somehow too painfully perceived and too much importance is attached to it. Who is Xi? He is not the first and not the last foreign leader who will come to us with absolutely unacceptable proposals," the expert believes.

Piontkovsky recalled that on June 16 last year, three leaders of European countries - France, Italy and Germany - came to Kyiv.

At that time, the press wrote that they allegedly offered Zelensky to agree to negotiations with the Russian Federation.

"We remember where they were sent. And agree that the support from Germany, France and Italy has increased dramatically over the past six months. And Comrade Xi should be sent to the same address very politely, following all protocol procedures for communicating with the Chinese emperor. I don't understand what the fuss is about," said the Russian opposition figure.

Piontkovsky believes that after Xi Jinping's visit to Moscow, one phone conversation between the Chinese leader and President Zelensky is not enough.

"It is necessary to explain to Comrade Xi on a diplomatic level that when he volunteered to be an intermediary between a war criminal and a state victim of aggression, then let him behave equally politely with both sides. If he goes to Moscow, then after that - welcome to Kyiv. We by the way, we will take him, like Macron and Scholz, to Bucha and Irpin and introduce him to the "feats" of his allies," he advises.

We will remind that the head of China may soon visit the Russian Federation.

After that, Xi Jinping plans to talk with President Zelensky.

According to Reuters, US President Joe Biden also plans to speak with Xi Jinping soon.

Military expert Oleg Zhdanov explained whether China will force Ukraine to negotiate with the Russian Federation.
