Senior Ukrainian officials met with Li Hui, China's special representative for Eurasian affairs, to discuss Ukraine's peace plan aimed at ending the two-year conflict with Russia. During the meeting, Ukrainian officials presented evidence of North Korean weaponry, specifically a missile, being supplied to Moscow. Li Hui's visit to Kyiv is part of a broader European tour, including stops in Russia and other European capitals, as part of China's shuttle diplomacy efforts to promote a political settlement of the conflict. Despite Ukraine's attempts to get China on board with its peace formula, expectations for immediate results from this diplomacy are low. The visit also highlighted the ongoing concern about North Korean involvement in the conflict through the supply of missiles to Russia.
