March 17 – BLiTZ. John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council (NSC), said that the US government hopes that after a visit to Moscow, Chinese President Xi Jinping will also talk to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
This contact can play an important role, since Xi Jinping needs to learn the point of view not only of Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also what the Ukrainian side thinks.
