China is ready to work with France to "push hard" to obtain a negotiation to end the war in Ukraine, a French diplomatic source said on Thursday after President Emmanuel Macron held talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
The source said Xi had also indicated he was ready to call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his own time and that Macron urged China not to deliver anything that Russia could use "in its war in Ukraine."
