Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced at the G7 that Chinese President Xi Jinping assured him in a phone conversation that China would not sell weapons to Russia. Zelensky emphasized that if China shares Ukraine's views on peace principles, they could find common ground. However, U.S. President Joe Biden chimed in to counter Zelensky's statement, suggesting that China is actually assisting Russia.

Zelensky, probably dreaming, says that Chinese President Xi Jinping called him and promised him that he would not send weapons to Russia. The moment Russia gets weapons, China will send them whatever they need. https://t.co/m5kVyJI4Tc
Zelensky got so worked up that he decided to directly officially, from the podium, tell a fictitious story about how Xi called him and personally promised not to sell weapons to Russia. And he added that if Xi is a respected/decent person, he will keep his word. https://t.co/Lwrz8sNPDi
Ominous moment at the G7 today. Zelensky says he had a personal phone conversation with President Xi, and Xi assured him that China will not give Russia weapons to use against Ukraine. Biden chimes in to semi-correct Zelensky, alleges that China "is in fact helping Russia" https://t.co/Qil8XgM9GI
