“Before the war, we had a large trade turnover with China, and that was normal, we were making money, there was no war. There was a higher trade turnover in the agricultural sector than we had with Europe. So I believe that we can have economic relations with China and I believe that China should be present especially at the moment when the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine can be discussed. And if they can help us in this issue, in this point in relations with partners or in forcing Russia to recognize the territorial integrity of Ukraine, then why not? We cannot reject this or that help from our partners because we are at war. But there are no serious signals from China that they are ready for anything,” Zelensky said.
