(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Volodymyr Zelensky hopes that China will not provide weapons to Russia for use in the war against Ukraine. 'I have personally appealed to the Chinese leadership through direct and public channels not to provide any support to the Russians in this war. And I hope Beijing takes a pragmatic approach, otherwise we risk getting World War III. I think they understand it well,' Zelensky told Italian newspaper corriere della sera in an interview.
When asked whether Chinese arms supplies to the Russian Federation are already taking place, the Head of State answered: 'We're not seeing this today.'
He emphasized that Ukraine's relations with China have always been very good. 'We have had intensive economic relations for many years, and it is in everyone's interest that they do not change,' Zelensky noted.
The President also expressed hope that the international community will support his ten-point peace plan which provides for guarantees of global security protection by major powers, in particular the United States and China.
