President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy asked his American counterpart Donald Trump to tell Chinese President Xi Jinping, who arrived in the United States on a visit, to help influence Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin regarding ending the war. He said this to journalists during a briefing in New York in the early hours of September 24, UNN reports.  

Today I frankly asked the President of the United States to talk to Xi Jinping and ask the Chinese leader to influence Putin so that he would end the war. At least to take de-escalatory steps, in which I am sure China is also interested. That is, both energy and grain
