Xi Jinping and Volodymyr Zelenskyy hold their first conversation since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Zelenskyy describes the almost hour-long call as 'long and meaningful'.
Xi will send a special government representative to visit Ukraine and other countries to seek a political resolution of the Ukraine crisis.
China has presented a 12-point proposal to end the Ukraine conflict that appears to greatly favour Moscow.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says any ceasefire without the withdrawal of Russian troops 'would effectively be supporting the ratification of Russian conquest'.
