KIEV (Kiev) (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Thursday evening that the United States and China could not tolerate the threat of using nuclear weapons on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G20) summit.
“(The G20) is a very important group of countries, and the weighty statement was already made the day before the summit,” Zelensky said in his regular video address. However, he calls Russia the G19 because he doesn’t consider Russia a member of the G20.
“It is particularly important that the United States and China have agreed to emphasize that the threat of the use of nuclear weapons is unacceptable. We all understand who this message is addressed to,” he said.
The White House said President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Thursday and agreed there should be no nuclear war and expressed opposition to the use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
