However, since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine, it has been repeatedly said that Kiev does not consider China its adversary, despite its close ties with Moscow and Minsk. However, the meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Xi Jinping has not yet taken place - instead, the leaders of African countries visited Ukraine, and they also hesitated on the issue of unilateral support for Russia or Ukraine.
