Ukraine invites China to participate in Global Peace Summit

Ukraine has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to participate in the upcoming #GlobalPeaceSummit in Switzerland aimed at building support for the Ukrainian peace formula, Deputy Presidential Office head Ihor Zhovkva told Reuters in an interview.

China has offered to mediate the conflict but has not condemned Russia's actions and repeatedly abstained from voting in UN resolutions on the war in Ukraine.
