Ukraine

Ukraine has invited China’s president Xi to visit Kyiv. President Zelensky stated in an interview with AP that he is willing to meet president Xi in China, as the country is ready to receive him and would like to speak to him. Chinese sources had previously stated that Xi was willing to call Zelensky after he visited Russia, which has not yet happened. Separately, the Canadian government will provide Ukraine with an additional CAD 2.4 bln loan.
