  • President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has dismissed a Chinese-Brazilian peace initiative for the war in Ukraine as "destructive", and complained that Kyiv had not been involved in the process. China and Brazil called in May for an international peace conference recognised by both Russia and Ukraine, involving equal participation of all parties, and what they called fair discussion of all peace plans. "The Chinese-Brazilian proposal is ... destructive, it's just a political statement," Zelenskiy said in an interview posted on Wednesday by Brazilian media outlet Metropoles.
