Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy extended an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit his country. "We are ready to see him here," Zelenskiy said for AP. “I want to speak with him. I had contact with him before full-scale war. But during all this year, more than one year, I didn’t have”, Volodymyr Zelenskiy said.

“I would encourage President Xi Jinping to engage directly with president Zelenskiy on any particular peace proposal that China is interested in putting forward”, British Premier Rishi Sunak told the UK Parliament’s Liaison Committee. “China’s support for Ukraine’s territorial integrity is indeed welcome, but their actions elsewhere and the other things they said undermine their credibility as being a neutral party in this”, said Rishi Sunak.

 Russian forces have advanced into an additional five percent of Bakhmut in the last seven days and they currently occupy roughly 65 percent of the city, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said.
