Volodymyr Zelensky Asks Xi Jinping for Talks, Invites China to Rebuild Ukraine
Breitbart, Aug 5, 2022

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the South China Morning Post on Thursday that he would like to discuss his country’s war against Russia with the leader of Russia’s closest ally, Xi Jinping, “directly,” and invited China to help rebuild Ukraine once the war is over.

Zelensky’s discussion with the Morning Post, a Hong Kong newspaper, was the first with an Asian news outlet since Russia escalated its eight-year-old war against Ukraine into a full-scale invasion in February. Zelensky used the opportunity to request a personal discussion with Xi, a genocidal communist dictator who is largely bankrolling the invasion of Ukraine through large purchases of cheap Russian oil and gas.

Ukraine is a member of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), a global program to trap poor countries in predatory loans to China that they cannot afford. The loans are nominally meant to pay China for massive infrastructure projects. China was also Ukraine’s top trading partner prior to the war. Last year, Zelensky said he hoped that Ukraine would become a “bridge to Europe” for Chinese influence in his last conversation with Xi.

Zelensky also expressed hope that China would play a role in the reconstruction of Ukraine once the war ended, inducing “China, Chinese businesses” to enter the Ukrainian market.

“I really would like the whole world to [unite] over this process. It’s very hard for us to overcome this,” the president was quoted as saying.

Sure, we pony up the money and weapons and MONEY! And this Son of a Bitch goes to our biggest enemy today and says hey how'd you like to rub the American's noses in shit? So once again billions upon billions of American taxpayers cash pumped into someone else's war (at least no American lives this time...so far) going from some ones religious war where we were accused of blood for oil we never got, and now we have gone back to the old standby of stopping communism. You know what, F'km all, I'm tired of America being the guy that always gets screwed. We could have spent all that money building manufacturing back up on this continent and developing resources so that we aren't dependent on a communist nation. Let China make their shit and sell it to Russia and see if they survive.
