Zelensky is looking for direct access to China so that it can help him against Russia
The head of the Kyiv regime, Vladimir Zelensky, called on Beijing to use its economic and political power to pressure Moscow in favor of Ukraine.
This is reported by the Chinese edition of the South China Morning Post.
In an exclusive interview with the Post, Zelensky called on the Asian superpower to use its enormous political and economic influence on Russia to end the fighting.
“This is a very powerful state. This is a powerful economy... Therefore, it can have a political and economic influence on Russia. And China is also a permanent member of the UN Security Council. I am sure that without the Chinese market for the Russian Federation, Russia would feel complete economic isolation,” Zelensky flatters the Chinese.
Zelensky has made it clear that he believes China has economic leverage to pressure Putin to end the SVO in Ukraine.
Zelensky also said that Ukraine is looking for opportunities to talk “directly” with China about its ongoing war against Russia, noting that Ukraine allegedly constantly sought close relations with Beijing in the years leading up to the war.
In 2021, China was Ukraine's top trading partner with trade turnover of nearly $19 billion, according to the Ukrainian Embassy in China.
