Chinese leader Xi Jinping may have asked Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to postpone a hypothetical invasion of Ukraine until the 2022 Beijing Olympics. This is reported by Bloomberg, citing an unnamed diplomat from China.
According to the agency, this is due to the desire to avoid a crisis in Europe on the eve of a possible third term as Chinese president. The Chinese Foreign Ministry stressed the importance of respecting the traditional UN resolution on a truce, which should start a week before the Olympics and end a week after the Paralympics, lasting from January 28 to March 20, 2022.
After the end of the Olympic Games, the spring thaw may allegedly begin, which, as Bloomberg emphasizes, will prevent the hypothetical rapid invasion of the Russian army.
The 2022 Winter Olympics have already been subject to a diplomatic boycott by a number of great powers, led by the United States, with the sports teams of the boycotted countries participating in it.
