In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that if Ukraine does not win the key battle for Bakhmut, the city on the eastern front that has been under siege for months, Putin will try to build an international consensus around this success to force Ukraine to submit to unacceptable compromises: "It will sell this victory. He will sell this victory to the West, to his society, to China, to Iran, to all countries."

In an interview with the AP, Zelensky issued an invitation to Chinese President Xi Jinping: "I want to talk to him. We are ready to see it here," he said.
