Over a year ago, Russia invaded Ukraine and has since then launched several attacks that have claimed lives and properties.
As it stands, Ukraine needs all the help it can get to restore the country and become peaceful again.
French President Emmanuel Macron reveals how Chinese President Xi Jinping could help Ukraine.
Macron’s first trip to China in four years is set to be dominated by the conflict in Ukraine,
France would seek to work with China “in this shared responsibility for peace and stability” in Ukraine, Macron says.
According to him, “China, with its close relationship with Russia, which has been reaffirmed in recent days, can play a major role”.
The French president notes Beijing’s opposition to the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Also, he notes its proposal for peace between Kyiv and Moscow.
Also, Macron aims to preserve and rebalance China’s trade ties with Europe, as well as safeguard French interests in the Asia-Pacific.
“We must not disassociate ourselves, separate ourselves from China,” Macron told Beijing’s French community upon arrival.
He says France would “commit proactively to continue to have a commercial relationship with China”.
A Common Agenda
The US and French presidents also hope to “obtain from the Chinese a contribution to the global effort of North-South solidarity” and to build “a common agenda” on climate and biodiversity”.
Macron will hold talks on Thursday with Xi and other Chinese leaders and attend a state dinner in the evening.
On Friday, he will travel to Guangzhou in southern China to meet local students.
The French president’s visit coincides with a flashpoint meeting between Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in California on Wednesday.
However, Beijing says it would “closely monitor the situation and firmly defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity”.
