Senior Ukraine Diplomat in Beijing for Talks

A senior Ukrainian diplomat announced on Thursday he had arrived in Beijing, a close ally of Russia, where he was expected to hold talks with Chinese officials.

The visit represents a rare meeting between officials from Kyiv and Beijing, which has been accused of aiding Moscow to prolong its war against Ukraine.

“Busy day ahead in Beijing,” Ukraine’s First Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya wrote on social media. Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry spokesman confirmed that Kyslytsya would hold consultations with Chinese diplomats, without giving details. (AFP)
