Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba arrived in China to discuss Beijing’s possible role in ending the war Russia launched more than two years ago.
The first visit by senior Ukrainian official in eight years comes as China has served as an economic lifeline for the Kremlin since its invasion began. Beijing has also put forward its own proposals for a peace initiative that would include Russia at the table.
