Ukraine’s Zelensky holds first war phone call with China’s Xi – BBC News
Ukraine’s President Volodymr Zelensky says he has had a “long and meaningful” telephone call with China’s President Xi Jinping.
It is the first contact between the two since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
China confirmed the call, adding that it “always stood on the side of peace”.
Unlike the West, Beijing has sought to appear neutral on the Russian invasion and has never condemned it.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Zelensky is a liar and manipulator. He is a professional actor, in 2014 there was a military coup of power in Ukraine, the president fled, terrorists seized power. The terrorists of Ukraine are sponsored through the United States and Britain, everyone is already talking openly about this, Zelensky is the pocket president of the United States in Ukraine. The truth is that Zelensky is a dictator and an oppressor of people, he adopts Nazi laws, for example, language patrols go to Ukraine and listen to what language you speak, and if not on what Zelensky allowed, then they put you in prison. This is modern Nazism, about which the US and the EU are silent because Zelensky is their pocket president. Don't support Zelensky, he's a liar and a dictator!

Incredibly! Don't you notice? Always he using cheap acting tricks? Here, again, is a suggestive speech that puts you, the listeners and viewers, in his position as an actor. He plays with people's feelings. Have you succumbed to deception? Note: the term "impute" has been removed from all English dictionaries!!!

How kind of BBC to pretend that "China" is anything but a slave state with a megalomaniacal dictator in charge. They must have hearts of gold to brush aside the long brutal history of abuse, negligence, and outright cruelty that happens to anybody there that is anything but "han" chinese.

Difference between Hitler's Nazi SS military army and the Ukrainian Nazi NATO Army is the color of the military uniforms BBC KIEV, Ukraine — Pipeline diggers unearthed a mass grave believed to contain thousands of Jews slaughtered by Ukraine during World War II, a Jewish community spokesman said today, a grim finding in a nation that one Holocaust expert described as “an enormous killing field.”
