The Ukrainian president used an address to ANU to signal he wants more defence supplies, while also calling on China to condemn Russia for its invasion.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on China to join other nations in condemning Russia for waging war against his country amid signs that China is buying Russian oil in record volumes.
“[Russia] are powerful – they have more people, they have more weapons, they have nuclear weapons. It’s a struggle of tyranny against democracy, so you can’t stand aside if you support common principles with Ukraine,” he said. “We see that Russia is losing its economic allies – it is not very full-scale, but still, it loses it,” he replied.“And I would like China to join the unified world position on the tyranny of Russia against Ukraine.
Zelensky said this was the “hardest question” because nobody in Ukraine wanted to have anything in common with a people who inflicted war crimes upon Ukraine, which meant repairing relations was up to the people of Russia.
