Chinese leader Xi Jinping has said he hopes to see a "fair" peace agreement on Ukraine. This will be the latest step in his attempts to improve relations with Europe amid the US trade embargo.
Bloomberg writes about it, Censor.NET reports.
According to the newspaper, Xi Jinping told dictator Putin during a tea chat in Moscow on 8 May that China hoped for a "fair, lasting and binding peace deal that is accepted by all parties involved." This can be achieved through dialogue.

China's leader's words echo a March statement by Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who said all parties in the conflict want a "fair and durable peace deal that is binding and accepted by all."
China's leader's statement also come after Trump said it would be "natural" for him to ask China to help on a deal between Ukraine and Russia.
