Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss the potential for Russia to use nuclear power plants as a form of blackmail. Xi Jinping pledged to send a “special representative” to Ukraine for talks about a “political settlement” and warned that “there is no winner in a nuclear war.” China has expressed a desire to become a neutral peace broker in the conflict, though the United States and others have questioned its impartiality.
