Quote: "Of course President Trump and I discussed China – its role in this war, its involvement or potential involvement, and its capabilities."

Details: Zelenskyy added that he would prefer the details of this particular matter to remain between him and the US president.

"But overall, there was a great deal of discussion about Ukraine at this summit, and a great deal of discussion about the Middle East and China," the president stressed.

He also noted that some European leaders have told him about a certain shift in Beijing's attitude towards Russia's war against Ukraine, suggesting that China's position on certain matters has hardened.

Quote: "There has been a slight change in the situation here. Some European leaders have told me they have spoken with Chinese representatives, and China responded very seriously, very firmly and clearly to Russia's statements in the media on the possible use of nuclear weapons. I think you have heard such voices in the Russian media – 'What if we respond to Ukrainian strikes with nuclear weapons?' It's very important to stress that not only the Europeans, not only America, but also China [...] (seemingly for the first time) has responded very clearly and very firmly, even in the form of an ultimatum, that there cannot even be thoughts about using nuclear weapons."
