Ukraine's Yermak says important China is at peace process table

Ukraine's presidential chief of staff Andriy Yermak said on Sunday it was important that China was at the table in discussions over the "peace formula" process aimed at ending the war with its neighbour Russia.

Asked if Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who was not present at a meeting of national security advisers in Davos on Sunday, would meet Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss town this week, Yermak said "let's see", adding he had not seen the Ukrainian President's final agenda.

Yermak said nobody had asked him about any compromise over territory during Sunday's national security advisers' meeting, which involved more than 80 participants from countries and international organisations.
