Zelenskyy Accuses China of Arming Russia, Raising Stakes in Ukraine War
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy accused China of supplying weapons to Russia, including involvement in weapons production on Russian soil, a claim China denies. Simultaneously, Ukraine and the US formalized plans for Ukrainian reconstruction funding, while Russia continued attacks on civilian infrastructure despite a reduction in energy sector targeting. The UN Security Council witnessed Russia’s rejection of a ceasefire proposal, contrasted by multiple nations’ urging for a cessation of hostilities. Despite the ongoing conflict, international diplomatic efforts continue, with a recent meeting between US, European, and Ukrainian representatives aimed at peace negotiations.
