Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is to visit China. The purpose of the visit is to hold talks on bilateral relations and ways to a just peace amid Russian aggression, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On July 23-25, Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba will pay a visit to China at the invitation of Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China Wang Yi.
During the meetings and negotiations, the parties will exchange views on the current state and prospects for the development of bilateral relations.
"The main topic of discussion will be the search for ways to stop Russian aggression and China's possible role in achieving a sustainable and just peace," the statement said.
China's stance on Russia's war against Ukraine
As a reminder, the day before, Chinese President Xi Jinping strongly opposed Beijing's criticism of its close relations with Russia during the war in Ukraine.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, China has not condemned Russia or imposed sanctions. At the same time, Beijing has strengthened its cooperation with Moscow and started selling key technologies and dual-use products to the Kremlin.
Recently, Vice President of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis said that China was supplying Russia with dual-use products needed for weapons production.
Later, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized China's actions. He emphasized the issue of supplying dual-use products to the Russian defense industry.
